Good to know. I'm only 16, and I get kidney infections pretty often, and have been for just over a year now. I'm not even sexually active. And i'm also a very clean person, like I shower at least once a day and stuff, but my doctor just told me that sometimes people are more prone then others. She put me on a preventative for 6 months, but I stopped taking it because i'm also on birth control, and me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 9 months, (we haven't had sex, but who knows when we might) so basically I would rather have another kidney infection then get pregnant. But I guess the cranberry pills would be a good option for me, especially since I seem to get a kidney infection about once every 3 months. So thanks for that information :)

Lol that's funny, we have almost the same screenname, and in a different forum, I suggested azo cranberry pills to a pregnant woman with a uti.

As i'm sure you are aware of, if you do get another uti, the drug pyridium is a godsend, although the color change of the urine does take some time to get used to o_o...

I also hear that some people are sensitive to getting uti's if they drink alot of caffeinated beverages (tea, coffee, soda, etc.)
