Ms. I came to the clinic today because she has symptoms of burning during urination and feels like she has to urinate more frequently than usual. She is diabetic, and admits to frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the past

"Probiotic dietary supplements have not been proven beneficial for UTI treatment.". 2. "Cranberry juice has shown more efficacy than probiotic dietary supplements for treating UTIs.". 3. "Yogurt and fermented dairy products have been shown to be more useful for treating UTIs.". 4. "Raisins have been shown to be as beneficial as dried cranberries and probiotic dietary supplements in treating UTIs.".
