It's always a good idea to check with the doctor because you ARE pregnant!. The infection might be further along and you just cleared the symptoms!. You don't want to have an infection!. The cranberry juice DOES help with the symptoms, and so does (over the counter) AZO!. But cranberry juice does have alot of sugar!. Try dried cranberries (Craisins by Oceanspray), they work even faster than cranberry juice (my opinion)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
cranberry juice makes the urine more acidic, and makes it more difficult for the bacteria to continue growing!. I don't think it can cure a UTI though, you need antibiotics to treat it depending on how bad it is!. If left untreated, it can travel to the kidneys!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Cranberry helps UTI!.!. You will need some medicine!.!.I get UTI all the time so i started drinking crangrape,cranapple,cranberry everyday and i havent had one in 3 months!.!.!.!.I would still go to the doctor and get tested cause you are pregnant!.!.!.!.Dont stop drinking it!.!.!.!.Hope you feel better!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Usually it just helps the symptoms, but it is possible that the bacteria causing the UTI has become diluted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
