milocase, Bless you. Azo Cranberry Tablets & D-Mannose tablets (all over the counter) are what a lot of women I know use to prevent UTI's. Please check with your doctor first.
Gloaming (posted above) is correct about the REAL cranberry juice. It is a little on the tart side, but you actually can dilute it down with a little water and drink it.
Women tend to be more prone to them as they age. Our bladders weaken as we age and being more sedentary can also promote a UTI.
Also, if you get tested at the early onset of a UTI, it may give a false negative. I had that happen to me before. The doctor contacted me 48 hours later and told me the test was positive. She prescribed me with an antibiotic.
Bless you & praying for you.....

I have had recurrent UTI’s most of my adult life (79).
At first sign (pee pain) I call Dr asking for a urine culture lab test. This will verify bacteria and rx that will cure infection.
While taking antibiotic I eat yogurt with every rx dose (protects yeast from forming).
After rx treatment ends wait 1-2 weeks and ask for another urine culture lab test to determine the bacteria has been thoroughly cured.
Bottled cranberry juice is a great deterrent for UTI. I drink it 1/2 H2O + 1/2 Cranberry juice (zero sugar cranberry juice is my favorite). I drink 32oz/day.
I hope these tips help you control your recurrent UTI’s.
Note: Be aware that recurrent UTI problem can be caused by kidney stones. Urologist can evaluate your situation.
