✔️ Cranberries (good for urinary health)
✔️ Pineapple & citrus fruits (help with a pleasant scent)
5. When Should You See a Doctor?
⚠️ If you have any of these symptoms, get medical advice:
- Strong, persistent odor that won’t go away
- Unusual discharge (green, yellow, or gray)
- Pain, itching, or burning when urinating
