Woman garners online support against doctors
According to a report by WHO, almost 50 per cent women have had or reported a UTI (Urinary tract infection) at some point. While this is a common health issue for many women, doctors seem to think otherwise. A UTI infects the bladder or urethra and if left untreated can hurt the kidney or reproductive organs too.
While symptoms differ from woman to woman, common signs are pelvic pain, increased need to pee, pain while peeing, blood in pee, back pain and fever. However doctor still seem to find dealing with a UTI bothersome or shameful and when a lady on Twitter named Dirtbag Winemom (@floozyesq) started increasing awareness on this topic, women all over the world hailed her.
Her tweet highlighted the need for normalizing UTI she wrote,
“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.” Many doctors often give the advice of having lots of fluids and peeing, without diagnosing the severity of the UTI.

Lol seriously, if UTIs were as common in men science would have had the miracle cure figured out 30 years ago

There’s a natural supplement called D-Mannose that’ll get rid of it in like a day or two if you take it with Cranberry pills. Significantly better than antibiotics and it doesn’t taste like anything

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.
