The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

ugh, UTI's suck!!
they can be caused by lots of things...bacteria getting in from thongs/lap dances are a possibility, and i've also heard that if you sit for too long (ie in an airplane, or roadtrip) some women get UTI's from that.
cranberry juice and OTC remedies can be helpful for the painful symptoms, but you should get to a doc and get some antibiotics to kill it. you don't want it to spread to be come a bladder infection.
best of luck![]()
Ugh I hate those things...I used to get them alot too. I had a real bad one once and I tried to make it go away on my own...and when it kept coming back full force, I went to the ER because it hurt that bad. The pain was spreading to my back. I ended up having to get an IV because I let it go so long and the infection was spreading! It could be coming back all the time because it's the same infection getting madder and madder!!! You gotta get antibiodics for that asap!

What she said! I think you can go to a planned parenthood for the meds if you don't have insurance. (you still have to pay) It wouldn't hurt to get checked for STIs either. Some STIs can feel like a UTI.




I get UTIs often and the more I drink caffeinated drinks...the more UTIs I get.![]()
There is definitely a caffeine connection. I got a UTI the other week after not getting any for like 10 years. This was after discovering the delicious lattes at a cafe nearby and drinking way more caffeine than usual.
I know you've heard it over and over, but you should get a culture done and get the proper antibiotics to completely clear it up. I actually had 2 rounds, one of Bactrim and then one of Cipro when my culture results came back.
It really is the worst feeling, hope you get better soon.





yea i think caffeine has to do with it. i drink a lot of caffeine on the long carrides.
either way, uva ursi is amazing. it cleared up the UTI again quickly. thank god i discovered this stuff... i hate doctors and i hate andtibiotics. at some point i need to post a rave of this on these boards so other girls know about it....

Also peeing after sex is super crucial for me in preventing UTIs!




I had a Urinary Tract Infection one time. I wound up going to Walgreens and buying some tablets that relieved the burning when urinating, and they also turned my pee orange! They relieved the symptoms, but were not intended to cure the UTI, so I went to my OB. She prescribed me an antibiotic called Keflex and it went away. Maybe you need antibiotics because you didn't actually cure the infection the first time!
If you are willing to do for one year what other's won't, you can spend a lifetime doing what other's cant.
Antibiotics are the only thing that will kill the infection. Also, whoever mentioned getting checked for sti's is right...sounds like it could potentially be pelvic inflammatory disease. Do you feel a lot of pressure in your pelvic region? Get checked asap because it can cause havoc on your reproductive organs and make you sterile due to scarring.


Only thing that cures a bacterial infection (an actual one) is antibiotics.
I've had them chronically for many years. Things that help, but don't solve the problem:
Less sugar.
Much less caffeine.
Much less alcohol.
Wipe front to back.
Don't use fem sprays.
Careful with soap down there.
Be clean before sex.
If you get oral, wash off before sex.
Don't take baths. Ever.
Doing the above things, I went from getting UTI's literally every 1-3 months, to.... well, I've gotten 2 in the past year. I think that's a great difference.![]()


this was my expieriance with a UTI....
I had a few discomforts while urinating. it felt like a muscle or nerve was being pulled from my pelvis up to my belly button. I slowly got worse so I started taking Azo pills. Well, one day I was shopping through Walmart and I had the sudden urge to pee. I was literally in the Walmart bathroom stall, with my mom on my cell phone, CRYING and telling her how much pain I was in and that I couldn't get a drop of pee out and that I couldn't make it to the door to get out of the store. There also happen to be at least 3 other people in the bathroom at the time. So way embarassing.
Anyway, I ended up going to the hospital and the doc said I have a UTI that was so sever that it made it's way through my urethra and into my kidneys.
You have to be very careful with those. You might think your symptoms are going away or it's getting better, but it could come back out of nowhere and you could end up with a massive infection and trust me when I tell you it's extremely painful.
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

I recently got tested for pretty much everything and came up clean... so i know its not that.
it seems like your body should be able to fight off the infection if the infection isnt bad enough. its like any other bacterial infection... antibiotics are only needed when your body cant fight it off.

My friend takes cranberry pills on a regular basis for them. She says it helps.
