Hello,
Cranberry juice helps a lot with bladder disorders.
You may have a sensitive bladder that feels like you are having an UTI every time; there is treatment available for this. But it is also important that you get a bladder scan at some stage to make sure all is ok.
Also ensure there is no possibility of you being pregnant, as certain antibiotics for UTI are contraindicated in pregnancy.
Thanks.
