Coping With Urinary Tract Infection

I have been getting UTi’s since I was 15 years old, even before I started having sex. They used to come only 2 times a year but now I get them every 2 months it seems like and now I am 28 years old. I have tried everything from drinking cranberry juice, water (no sodas or tea). Thats another thing if I drink tea or coffee or even liquor I will get a UTI out of no where. I have had plenty of doctors say wipe front to back, urinate before and after sex, drink plenty of water and cran. juice but nothing helps.

One doctor had told me that I need to get a stent put in my urethra due to my urethra may be really short and small which allows bacteria to be trapped easily….which causes a UTI. I guess if that is what it takes to quit getting these awful UTI’s, I am going to have to do it. Has anyone heard about getting a stent put into the urethra??? If so let me know. Oh for those who do get UTI’s often there is one thing that I have found will help alittle…which is to stay hydrated.
