I have suffered with UTI's since I was 17 (I'm 28 now) In the past, I have had infections so bad that I've had to take 3 different sets of antibiotics to try and get rid of it. In all this time though I've learnt that not all UTI's require treatment. I've not had one so bad I've ended up at the drs in a while but I do still get the burning/desperate to pee etc very frequently. I would say once a fortnight if not once a week. Sometimes more, I had this on Friday last week and had it again today.
I do all the things I'm meant to like peeing straight after sex, keeping clean but not using scented products and that kind of thing. It doesn't last too long, maybe half the day if I'm lucky and then it's gone the next day. Although it's not excruciating it's still painful enough to ruin plans and things. I don't know if it's worth a trip to the GP? I don't think they're infections as such as they don't last long but I just wondered if there was anything I could take to stop it from happening so often? Fed up of spending hours sitting on the loo!
Oh and don't talk to me about cranberry juice, it's all lies lol
