I have a tendency to get UTIs when I travel internationally. Probably dehydrated, jet lagged, etc. After developing one outside of the US, and scrambling to find a doctor, I finally asked my PCP if I could have a "just in case" Rx to carry with me. It would eliminate the need to conquer a language barrier and relief can be started at the first signs of trouble so it doesn't spiral into a kidney infection, and possibly sepsis.
So, this is what I do. If you have had a UTI in the past, you know the symptoms.
Bactrim 2 pills per day for 3 days will knock it out.
Worst case scenario if a doctor is unwilling to oblige. Order the generic form of Bactrim from an online Indian pharmacy like AllDayChemist.
And for those of you who will criticize ordering Rx from an online Indian pharmacy, guess what, my last batch of blood pressure meds sent to me by the VA were manufactured in Bangladesh.
She had a UTI herself and it took over a week to get meds

My mom had a standing order for that was well and she always kept some on hand.
People who have recurrent UTIs are fully aware of when they are developing one. I wish more doctors would treat us like competent adults.
Anyone use D-mannose?
I purchased it one time from Amazon but I never used it.
Is it effective?
