4. They're far less likely to occur in men, |
|
especially young men, than women but it's not unheard of.

6. yes it's rare to hear about them occurring in men |
|
but drinking cranberry juice is supposed to be good in preventing them

7. Yes, there may be some validity to that. |
|
I think it changes the pH of the urine and in so doing makes the bacteria less able to adhere to the urethra causing it get flushed out.
Oops, inadvertent pun.

...it wasn't too bad, once I got over the bloody urine bit. A couple of days of antibiotics (Cipro?) cleared it up and it never came back. Remind your friend to finish the whole course of medication, even if the symptoms go away...
