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

Experiencing A Phantom Sting

Some women have become so used to the symptoms of a UTI that they feel they have the symptoms of an infection even when they do not. They may have experienced UTIs so frequently that it feels abnormal not to have one, so their mind conjures up symptoms of a UTI to bring a sense of normalcy to their life. At first, some women may have trouble distinguishing between phantom symptoms and real symptoms; they may find themselves downing cranberry drinking and popping cranberry pills even when they do not have an infection. But after a while, women with frequent UTIs learn how to tell the difference and can quickly recognize when they are experiencing a phantom sting. Phantom stings do not bother these women anymore and instead give them a reason to chuckle.

Being No Stranger To The UTI Dance

Everyone knows the Macarena, the Whip and Nae Nae, and the PSY dance, but some women are also familiar with the more obscure 'UTI dance'. The UTI dance makes perfect sense – it is the combination of the need to pee and a burning pain. Some women feel the urge to break into it in public both when they have a UTI and even when they do not. The dance is celebratory, so women do not have to feel like they are suffering from their UTI alone. There are many women around the world experiencing a UTI and dancing the UTI dance at this very moment.
