Re: Have a UTI and scared
Start taking some good quality d-mannose ASAP, would be my advice. Some companies also sell urinary test strips. Not the most accurate but might give you a clearer idea of what going on. And if it turns out not to be a UTI, no harm done (obviously check d-mannose is suitable for you if you have any other medical conditions).

Make sure to get the complete urine and culture done if you feel you have a UTI. Vanco can cause bladder irritation and it can last a long time. If you look in the search bar there are several threads on it.
If it is an infection, the culture is really important, there are low offenders like Macrobid that work well if it's on the list.
Make sure to review with your DR. and ask about D Mannose, I take it everyday
Hope you feel better
