Thread: Frequent UTI'S HELP!!

Uti Uti Uti!

I am so sick of that word. I have had problems with UTI's since i was 17 years old. I am now 20 years old a dental student and i have no idea how i am going to get through school because of how frequent and how inconvenient they are. In the past year i would go every 2-3 weeks without a Uti. I have gone to specialists from obgyn, urologist, and the only response i have gotten is 1. you get them around your period so your pH levels are abnormal, and there is nothing wrong with you it is just your anatomy. I dont know what to do anymore.. it is interrupting in my life and its making it hard to do anything anymore.

Please what do i do?
Any recommendations??

I have the exact same problem.. that is definetly not the only reason... all the doctors i have gone to have said that, unfortunatly, women get them more frequently, often times to do with sexual activity. pee after sex, as well as before, dont hold your pee in.. drink frequently, but not too frequently, dont drink too much caffiene because it irrirates your bladder... i recently had an app with an urologist and he have me a lose dose antibiotic to take before or after sex, and im happy to say that i've been doing so for almost two month and no UTI's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... ask your doctor about 'macrobid'. I really hope u find a solution that works, because I KNOW how shitty frequent uti's are.. tehy really do ruin your life

hope that helps
