My story is quite different from everyone else. You see me and I look just like any other normal person...but my problem is quite different,I am a 20 year old person that has a urinary track infection that refuses to go away. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I ABSOLUTELY HATE myself whenever I wake up wet..and the stomach cramps after is horrible.
If anyone has any solution, please help me! I'm soo scared of anyone else finding out... | |

I had my first urinary tract infection not too long ago and went to my student health clinic to get rid of it. After 3 catheters (OUCH! to get a sample b/c they thought my bladder wasn't emptying, but it was, I just went to the bathroom and then got into my appointment early so I had nothing left when they asked for one) and about 2 hours later, they threw some antibiotics my way. Unfortunately it came back because the antibiotics either didn't take effect (or I just happened to get another one right away maybe?). Went to an acute care back home, got a different antibiotic and it went away finally. That was a terrible month that went on.
In the mean time, drink cranberry juice and lots of water. They also have cranberry pills you can take which might help out some to keep urinary tract infections away after you get rid of it. I'm guessing they made those for people who frequently get UTIs.
If you are sexually active, stop until it's gone. When it is gone, if you are still going to be sexually active, be sure to urinate after sex. Sometimes if you don't it can cause one due to sexual activity pushing bacteria into the urethra, urinating clears that bacteria out of the urethra.
