Can I drink cranberry juice for my UTI?
Sure, you can drink anything you want.
Hydration is a the key when treating a UTI. The extra fluid will hopefully
dilute the bacteria and wash them out. There are a lot of reports indicating
that cranberry juice may offer benefit to women with UTI. This benefit for some
unknown reason is only seen in 30% of patients. In any case, cranberry juice is
not harmful. A few studies report that daily drinking of cranberry juice can
also reduce recurrent UTI. How cranberry juice works is not known but probably
related to its acidity. In any case, the more fluid you drink the better you
will feel.
