To be sick to the back teeth of Urinary Tract Infections

[StrawberryTot]

So basically that

So I'm suffering what must be my 6th or 7th infection this year. I literally have no idea what is causing them. I drink plenty of water, no juice or fizzy pops, switched to decaf coffee, avoid spicy food, wear cotton knickers, don't wear knickers at bed time. You name it I have tried it. Yet I still get them!!!

AIBU to be fed up?

P.S. I'm completely and utterly feeling sorry for myself, I apologise.

Well I'm veggie, Rainbunny. Haven't eaten meat in years so that can't explain my antibiotic resistant UTI.

It's so hard when I can't pee at work. Working alone serving customers for six hours at a time with no chance of going to the loo is killing me.

I am undergoing investigation due to recurrent utis. I also get a horrid burning feeling in my vagina and general vulval pain. The utis cripple me so that I can't go to uni it is ruining my life. I had an ultrasound on Monday alls fine, I had all bloods done, alls fine. This all started this year and I can't think what triggered it all other than trying a lube when have never used one before or since. My urine tests as mild uti at the docs dip thing but when they send it off nothing ever shows up

Haven't read whole thread so not sure if this already suggested but I used to get loads until I stopped washing lady parts with soap. Nothing but water used now and NEVER EVER use biological washing power. Haven't had one in over a decade.
