Weird Things You Know How To Do If You Get Urinary Tract Infections

Knowing How To Drink A Small Lake’s Worth Of Water

In their early UTI days, many women hesitate to drink more than one glass of water in a sitting because of the uncomfortable feeling of fullness that occurs afterward. However, women with frequent UTIs are well-versed in chugging down a small lake’s worth of water at the first sign of infection. These women know that the sooner they drink water and the more water they drink when their symptoms are at an early stage, the less likely they are to develop a full-blown UTI. Even women who have had many UTIs have probably saved themselves from at least a few infections by chugging down water.

Keeping The Doctor On Speed Dial

Women who frequently develop UTIs often have their family physician on speed dial. Having experienced so many UTIs, they know what they need and when they need to call up their doctor for an appointment. They also know that if they allow their symptoms to go untreated for too long, the bacteria can end up in their kidneys and cause serious and permanent damage. It is even possible to end up with blood poisoning if the kidneys spread the infection. When a woman's UTI results in a kidney infection, her symptoms intensify to include fever, chills, greater abdominal and pelvic pain, and more severe burning when peeing.
