If a urine culture is being sent out, you will be notified if bacteria are identified that are resistant to the antibiotic you are taking. Urinate before and after intercourse since cystitis may be related to intercourse in females. Drink plenty of fluids, especially water and juices. Cranberry juice reportedly increases the urine acidity, which inhibits bacterial growth. Urinate when you have the urge.
Studies show that frequent urination decreases the chance of developing cystitis.
