Brief Answer:
Please see detailed answer.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for providing me with more information.

If there is no evidence of infection in your urinalysis then you may continue intake of cranberry to prevent UTI. Please limit intake of coffee and tea because they are known to aggravate urgency also.

Strong spices are also known to cause bladder instability and limiting intake of peppers, spicy curry etc. would certainly help.

I hope I have answered your question. If you've any further queries, feel free to ask.
Regards
