I'm 23 and been having severe uti's once a month since it was about 6, please help!

oh god, I'm so sorry to hear this! I thought is was in a horrible situation when I had one every month for 8 months, I finally found what was causing mine which was the contraceptive pill I was taking so I don't get them anymore, but I'm so sorry you're dealing with them with no permanent cure! have your doctors not offered a permanent prescription when I kept getting UTIs they offered me to have a permanent prescription so for the forseeable future I would take a small dose of the antibiotics used to treat UTIs. but before I got them I found what was causing mine so I didn't go through with the tests to get the permanent prescription. maybe that could be an option for you? x

Hi Laura,

We all know what your going through. D- Mannose Powder is something I just started using about 1 month ago now. It works amazing, also take some probiotic Flora pills  to help with this. Its been working for me, and no pain for 1 month now.

LAURA I HOPE YOU GET BETTER ! MY COUSIN ONCE HAD THIS AND SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM... NO DOCTOR SEEMED TO GIVE HER A TREATMENT ! HERE IS MY STORY SO EVERYONE CAN SEE AND MAYBE CAN HELP

Hello everyone. I am a 25 year old woman and I really need HELP on my case  since it is already causing my life a nightmare.! I'm pretty much running out of options that's why I decided to come to the internet and connect with people. I've been suffering from UTI's since back in 2011. I've been prescribed I don't know how many antibiotics.... Nothing has worked within 3 days my UTI would come back. Apparently... the E.coli have become resistant to antibiotics. My primary doctor sent me to an urologist to see if everything was ok. I'm currently on the wait for some ultrasounds I had done to see if I'm retaining urine. Meanwhile, I will appreciate if someone can give me some light on this and if some one had a similar problem because honestly all the doctors I've seen so far dont really know whats going on or  have little knowledge of this problem, I sort of sense their insecurity. Overall, my hopes are low.... The e.coli is also constantly causing vaginal infections as well... I believe my ph levels go unbalanced once the bacteria travels to the vagina causing bad odor and even yeast infections, vaginosis, etc. HORRIBLE. I even tried to get a plastic surgery recently and they will not operate with an existing infection. I've heard as well that long term infection can cause other problems...evern for future maternity. My first priority in my life right now is getting rid of this thing !! You help will be much appreciated. THANK YOU !! 

I think you have an infection that has not beed officially removed, only symptoms reduced. The antibotics prescribed remove your good bacteria, hence, the bad over takes it and goes into other areas over time, similiar to the leaking gut example.

No longer eat sugar in your diet, read the food labels that will list sugar in many different names. That sugar causes women so many problems due to our makeup down there. Also, quickly starting taking Multi Probiotic is the best for your stomache and urinary/uterus to help maintain your PH flora - make Plain Yogurt your best friend buddy. Drink more water, stop any surgary drinks, soft drinks and coffee. Feed your good bacteria. Eat some raw garlic to get to the root of the problem. Thats why you keep getting these UTI's because the initial cause never been dealt with just put to the side for awhile. Sorry you going thru this. 

Take some multivitamin and mineral supplement, we forget that but you need that because you want all your inner organs to get what they need to function and help you get rid of the main thing causing this. 

I think it is the bad bacteria because it is in disguise not showing up on tests. We have to remember that some of these tests are only looking for particulars that reflect one thing or another and easily miss things, hence, your experience of passing out and passing blood (which is serious) and your initution Proves, something is wrong. 

Don't give up. Keep looking for answers, but do change your diet as noted above.

 

-- You can try taking some baking soda ( 1 teaspon) or apple cider vinegar and put in a glass. So try the baking soda with glass of water, and can add some honey for taste, you should see some improvement. 

Also, a herbalist said that we have to see what foods are good for our blood type, if not we can experience the mysteries that we find ourselves in. If you think about it the blood tells alot of what is going with us and our food intake plays a number one instigator in starting our gut - that if any issues will show up in your symptoms. 

Another thing, learned by a doctor that if the person was born by a c-section, they are at a disadvantage compared to a vag born child due to not receiving the benefical microbio makeup from the mother. Its studies on this that was fascinating to read and feel why so many people end up with mix symptoms that all comes back to imbalance of bad bacteria needing more help in fighting it.

Oh, and taking all those prescribed antibotics remove all your good/bad bacteria. So try a natural remedy to see if it helps before going full stream back on those antibotics. You want to take everything in phases, because if you do have a superbug, the die off make you not feel well for a few days and your body have to be prepared for that. 

Good luck..
