Arguing over what is part of the urinary tract solves nothing. Telling people not to give advice without letters after their name also solves nothing.
I think the OP is aware of the existence of doctors. She also simply needs a telephone, not collarchat, to make an appointment.
When it comes to this I will not recommend self healing, the MD might be a good idea.
Of course I keep my urinary tract healthy with copious amounts of beer. I cannot recommend this to anyone else though, not in any serious way.
Really though, if the problem were difficulty in urinating I would indeed recommend beer, but it is not. This could possibly be a UTI that is simply not as nasty, not as proactive at attacking the body.
I say see the sawbones, find out. While I'm sure that some UTIs can be cured naturally, I have absolutely no idea how to do it, so go to the doc.
I know it sounds strange coming from me, but unless someone comes up with something concrete, i.e. root of this, these berries and nuts and this supplement, and oh yes, if you can stand it drink beer, the doc is the only option.
To the OP, I didn't read your profile so I do not know your age, how old are you ? Also, more importantly how are you holding up ? The reason I ask is it has just occurred to me that you may be developing a drop of the pelvic floor. You said it doesn't really burn, but "feels different", and more frequent urge. These are among the signs. It happens when age catches up, so it is not so much age, but your condition. You could be 60 and still firm, or you could be 35 and your C cup breasts fall to your navel without a bra. Two opposite ends of the spectrum, but if the latter is true, suspect pelvic floor breakdown.
If you are in really good shape and firm otherwise, I think I would look more for an environmental issue. In fact, when ready I have another possibly controversial post coming up about just that. You'll notice it.
But to boil it down right now, any change in your condition should be met with long hard thinking about your particular environment. Did you start or stop any meds ? Did your diet chaange ? And (related to other post), did you possible switch perfumes or shampoo, anything like that ? Have you lost or gained a significant amount of weight recently ?
Sometimes answering a lot of little questions brings about an answer to a bigger question.
