Our Members Asked:
Do probiotics help prevent urinary tract infections?
Medically reviewed and edited by Tod Cooperman, M.D.
Answer:
There is currently not enough evidence to conclude that probiotic supplements reduce the risk of the developing urinary tract infections (UTIs). For details, see the What It Does section of the Probiotic Supplements Review.There is some evidence that cranberry juice may help to reduce the occurrence of UTIs in women as well as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men. Small studies suggest that D-mannose powder may be helpful as well.
