Answers:
Actually baths can make UTIs worse, unless you are bathing in just plain water. Even then you need to be careful. Try taking only showers and wash with a very mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Go to the bathroom whenever you feel the urge, don't hold it. Drink cranberry juice (the real stuff, not the cocktail, the less the sugar the better) and green tea. Also make sure you are getting plenty of water, it helps to flush things out. If you are having recurrent UTIs you probably need to be placed on stronger antibiotics for a longer period of time. I get kidney infections easily so I know how this is.
