Hi, check out your local pharmacy/drug store usually in the section with maybe the yeast infection treatments. They have both over the counter UTI test strips , as well as a pill you can take to help relieve the burning pain. But please do see your doctor too, so it can really be treated properly. As a side note, it's not a bad idea to go to the bathroom before and immediately after you have sex. Some women are more prone to these things. Good luck.

drinking a lot of water, cranberry juice, or any type of juice for that matter will help. also, to prevent UTI's from occurring, it is always best to pee after you have sex.

i do recall reading something about there is something in cranberry juice. I know it sucks to pee, but its suppose to have something in it that helps. Drink up.

Drink pure cranberry juice that you get from a health food store, not the grocery store. You can dilute it a little and add a little sweetener. The grocery store brands are so diluted with water, other juices and sugar that you will not get the same benefits.
You can get pure cranberry juice or cranberry concentrate. Just follow the directions on the bottle for correct dilution. Personally, I drink 8oz a day for it's diuretic properties (I have HBP) as well as it's ability to rid the body of cellulite.
My granddaughter has had several uti's, as a child, and this juice has helped her a lot.
