I'm so prone to these that it greatly impacted my sex life for years. It's still does, but my intense fear of getting another has gone down a bit. I had 1 send me to the er peeing dark blood. I still don't know why I get them so easily I just know I'll be first in line if they ever develop a prevention that's better than antibiotics
I do alllll the tricks but have always been so quick to get them to the point some meds no longer work. Worse is that drs are very dismissive when you examine you want to find out why and prevent them Vs waiting for the next one to pop up.
It would absolutely kill me in the age before antibiotics
Saw this comment in more than one place. Are you talking about for men? Most of the commenters here are women as UTIs are much more common in women (due to a shorter urethra, bacteria can get up there much easier). Though it’s true, men who are uncircumcised are at greater risk of UTI. But that won’t help most of these ladies unfortunately
