If you haven’t experienced that, I hope and pray that you don’t ever have to because when it comes to UTI, the pain is unreal.
While talking about UTI in women, there are several reasons due to which women can develop UTI’s, and serious complications can occur if it is left untreated.
For instance, tight pants/underwear, sex, birth control pills, and certain different medications can also be the cause of a UTI in women. However, these are just some of the few reasons that can be the cause of the infection. But if we talk about treating the UTI, women have realized that doctors treat it like it’s not even a big deal but it can become deadly, and serious complications can occur if it becomes chronic and proper medication isn’t provided to heal it.
A lot of women have complained about doctors not taking it seriously when they should. Although yes, the treatments are easy and curable, but only if they are treated at the right time and with care – but a majority of doctors tend to show lack of professionalism when it comes to treating a UTI. So, the issue about doctors not taking it seriously was raised online by a Twitter user who is known as @floozyesq, and fellow Twitter users jumped in to relate.
We need a disney princess with chronic UTIs who goes to the doctor and the doctor tells her to always pee after sex and the princess says she’s already doing that and the doctor says well that’s all the advice I have

My doctor gave me the same advice before I had even ever seen a penis

UTIs are the devil. They sent me twice the ER in the last 6 months alone.
I wish there was a UTI vaccine. At this point, I show up, tell them I have a UTI, they test me and say "yep, that sure is a UTI", give me a Px, and away I go. And then return 3 months later.

Literally just went to Urgent Care today and had this convo 😩 I haven’t even had sex in over a year! Also recently made an appointment with a urologist who specializes in IC, since I’ve been getting chronic UTIs since I was 8 (I’m 20 😑) and every urologist is mystified

Shout out to the multiple doctors who told me the solution was peeing immediately before AND after sex. Thanks, I’ll let my magic bladder know.

I once had kidney stones and a Doctor asked me “are you sure you don’t just have your period?”

If I’m to say anything about this, when it comes to health-related issues, you should always get a second opinion if you’re not happy with the doctor, because health should always be a priority and you should never make any compromises.
