I don't get UTIs often. Only two in the past 15 years...so there it remains, on my Amazon wishlist. Lol.\r\n\r\nEdit 2- I just remembered why I added it! I bought it to add to my cats' food since I have one cat that is prone to UTIs and a boy, who by default would be prone to them.

Also typically available at health-food type stores (whole foods, sprouts, etc.). When I am having frequent issues with UTIs, I take some d-mannose preventatively. When I have an actual bad UTI, I take it every couple of hours with a little water, then wait 30 minutes, and drink as much water as I can stomach to flush out the bacteria. If it's not working, sometimes I'll take a tums with the d-mannose because it works better when your stomach is a little less acidic.\r\n\r\nFor BA - I haven't had to use it in years (KNOCK ON WOOD). But yea, I would use it as soon as I started to feel off. I usually would just do it at night because sometimes you can get discharge. I do recommend it with the coconut oil because I can also find it slightly irritating (but not NEARLY as much as some OTC medications I'm talking to you monistat)","subreddit_name":"TwoXChromosomes","author":"focksandhound"},{"body":"I struggled with UTIs for months in 2019, antibiotics didn’t help but a supplement called D-Mannose has kept them away for years now.

I take [these](https://www.amazon.com/NOW-D-Mannose-500-120-Capsules/dp/B000JN4CR0). \r\n\r\n2) After spending my entire adult/sexually active life getting 4-10 UTIs a year, finally a couple of years ago I found a doctor that agreed to give me a standing prescription to self-treat UTIs as soon as they come on. My symptoms come on really quickly and Macrobid (nitrofurantoin) works really quickly as well so I find if I am able to take a loading dose of Macrobid as soon as symptoms start I am back to 100% within 12 hours or so. \r\n\r\nOver the years I've used antibiotics preventatively every day or after sex but  I'd rather avoid taking that much antibiotics and I find the D-mannose works pretty well (when I remember to take it), and for the occasional infection I still get at least I don't have to wait for a doctor's appointment and then stand in line at the pharmacy feeling like I'm going to pee my pants.","subreddit_name":"AskWomenOver30","author":"bethadone_yeg"},{"body":"D mannose always helps with my UTIs and it’s over the counter.

I had constant UTIs with the Paragard and it’s one of the major reasons I removed it. Absolutely take the antibiotics, and then go on amazon and order you a big old bottle of D Mannose powder capsules. It’s a sugar that isn’t digested in the body but since it’s a sugar, UTI bacteria love it and cling to it. I swear by it for UTIs, and recommend taking three lozenges to start, then three in the morning and evening for a day or two. You can go down to two capsules AM/PM on the third day. It works fast and it’s effective, and can be taken anytime without developing a resistance, since it’s just a sugar.\r\n\r\nHere is what I use: NOW Supplements, D-Mannose 500 mg, Non-GMO Project Verified, Healthy Urinary Tract*, 120 Veg Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JN4CR0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Nl8iEb8Q7HMXV","subreddit_name":"birthcontrol","author":"CantoErgoSum"},{"body":"I realize this isn’t the advice you’re asking for but I also got a UTI after birth that lasted through two rounds of antibiotics and this stuff was a life saver: NOW D-Mannose 500 mg,120 Veg Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JN4CR0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_U.3.BbH6Y2RQ2\r\n\r\nThere’s some clinical evidence that it can treat UTIs that aren’t responding to ABs and for me the relief was pretty quick.

It was hell. My doctor kept prescribing me antibiotics, which I took so often I think the bacteria in my urethra became resistant. There was one time I was in so much pain for so long I took too much Nitrofurantoin (the antibiotic) that it wiped out the 'good bacteria' in my system and I gave myself a yeast infection... on top of my UTI :(.\r\n\r\nI was taking concentrated cranberry pills and drinking my weight in water daily, but I was always on the verge of getting a UTI. I would get one any time I had sex with my partner or drank more than one alcoholic beverage in a day.\r\n\r\nI was so frustrated and miserable and worried that this was going to be my reality for the rest of my life. It was my partner who actually dug deep on the internet and found D-mannose, which is a sugar that's used to promote a healthy urinary tract. I am not a homeopathic/alternative medicine person, but I was desperate and totally down to try a sugar pill or anything that might help. Apparently the way that the D-mannose sugar molecule is structured, it attracts and bonds really well with the kind of bacteria molecules that grow in your urinary tract and cause the UTI.\r\n\r\nD-mannose has changed my life. I think I've gotten an actual UTI once in the last 4 years (and I was in Indonesia). I use it when I think I might feel one coming on, and also as a preventative when I know I'll be drinking a lot or when there will be an extended period of time when I'll be more at risk (e.g. camping). It's mind blowing to me that I suffered for so long and talked to my doctor every 3-4 months to try to figure this out and just kept getting prescribed antibiotics. It was a huge learning moment for me with medicine and doctors. I ask every doctor I see now if they know about D-mannose, and so far no one has. \r\n\r\nI can't know if this works for everyone, but I try to share this story with any many women as possible, because D-mannose has helped me get my life back. It's also cheap, you don't need a prescription, and it's on Amazon Prime! (Also in Whole foods for double the price if you're not able to order online -- I haven't seen it anywhere other than health food stores, but hopefully one day).
