That's definitely the approach I usually take. I use all of the remedies many people on here try (extra cranberry, extra fluid, apple cider vinegar, etc.). I only treat UTIs which become symptomatic. This latest one I am having, the first one since last year and also my first one which wasn't caused by bladder stones or Urodynamics in seven years, has been one of the worst I have experienced since 1998. I forgot how terrible least things make me feel.
Take care everyone.
