I had a constant subtle pain like the beginning of a UTI for almost a year! It was so annoying. Nothing came up in my blood and urine analysis, it was so frustrating. Sometimes I was having a crisis, got antibiotics, the acute pain was gone, but that annoying little pain remaining, like a little pinching. And then I had a cold and a friend recommended raw ginger (add milk, or yoghurt, or some food, it's very acidic!).
Well my flu didn't stop, but within 2-3 days my UTI symptoms totally disappeared. I continued taking it for about one week or two. And it has been gone.it's now been about 2 years.
When I feel the slightest beginning of pain(it really almost never happens) I just eat some ginger, smaller quantity now. I hope this helps someone too.

I felt this insistent UTI creeping up on me for days but ignored it since it was so slight that I could deal with it, but today it was so full blown. I came here and read what worked for Sandrini. My mom had some ginger left in her pan that she stir fried her veggies in. It went away immediately! I usually have to sit in a vinegar bath for at least 20 minutes which also works for my reoccurring UTIs. I will continue to eat a small amount of ginger from this day forward.
