My grandma got brain damage because the doctors failed to catch her uti for a whole year even though she kept going to the doctors. The infection spread to her brain giving her viral encephalitis. She almost died, but now she has regained a lot of her balance and memories now, and she can remember vague details about the day before now. She’s come a long way, but I was twelve at the time, and so angry that the doctors failed her until it was too late. It wasn’t caught because in older people utis sometimes don’t show regular symptoms and can sometimes cause confusion and nausea instead of regular signs.
I really like the way she talks about the UTIs. This makes me feel like going and doing sexual activity with the girls and peeing with them to show how much is there when getting infection.
About 2 months ago I had a UTI infection and it SUUUUUUUUUUUCKED! To prevent infection you can drink a crap ton of water and change underwear daily. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY CHANGE. YOURE. TAMPONS. It’s soooo dangerous to keep tampons in for too long (12+ hours) But I hope it won’t be AS common anymore.
I have never had a UTI. But I have known women who get pretty frequently.
Why did I laugh so much at "our little pee hole"
Very informative and down to earth presentation of UTI facts.
I’m eating while watching... help...
I had many UTI’s during my childhood, and again later in live, I started what I thought where back pains but I made high fever and even couldn’t stand anymore. So my gp said it’s not normal anymore every around three months you have an UTI, so was referred to an specialist it was a suffering needed to do different things. They found out I had a reflow of urine to my kidney and he saw old scars in my kidneys but my right kidney is the bottom part most damaged and doesn’t work that well. So I had a re-implant from my blather to my kidney. Now I’m under medical continuity supervision also because of my Crohn’s and Spondylitis Ankolysis
When you say "cis females" I think you mean "people with vulvas." cis women aren't the only people with vulvas: trans men and non binary people can have them too. Just a gentle Nudge to adjust your language to include trans masculine and nonbinary people. 💜
Good explanation in your video. Here is my variation of the UTI review ruclip.com/video/yuBFCBd9I5M/video.html
Just recently had a UTI that spread to my kidney and the pain was horrible! 😭😫
Hey Tuliania! Sorry to hear about your UTI. Watch my UTI review, it might help
Stop masturbating with a shower head. My doctor never told me this because it's an awkward thing to bring up, but once I stopped using it, my UTIs stopped occurring as frequently.
How convenient! I have a UTI now (I’m taking medicine for it)
watch my video about taking medicine for UTI ruclip.com/video/yuBFCBd9I5M/video.html
Okay but I'm not sure that's true.
I've had plenty of UTIs. Even quite bad ones.
Never taken antibiotics for it.
Pretty sure you don't need to, it just speeds up the process.
Miss Murder30 yes and i wish they wouldnt come back, thats why i go to the doctors to find a solution? Your point doesnt make sense
youre still on the property apparently you're out here getting UTIs EVERY MONTH. But yes, only your experience is valid, Doc.
Miss Murder30 literally no one goes to the doctor for a common cold unless theyre really old🤦🏼♀️but people go there for utis at any age so your comment is really irrelevant.
Wow this is crazy News I did not know this!.. Uti must see a Doctor. What are the symptoms of both? What are the symptoms of toxic shock syndrome?
I used to get painful UTIs frequently & my doctor said to start taking cranberry supplements everyday. I started doing that about 15 years ago & I have not had a single UTI! The cranberry supplements are much more potent than drinking cranberry juice.
Can we get a similar video about yeast infections? This was really informational!
Yes.
UTIs are the worst. So so so uncomfortable
I watched this and had to pee suddenly
Oh, the adorable Dr. is back, best thing for healtheducation, likeable Dr that make you enjoy it instead of fearing it
VIDEO IDEA: SWAT OFFICERS PLAY RAINBOW SIX SIEGE
Almost died when I was 5 because of this doctors insisted it was nothing then I started getting sick and ouking they said it was just the stomach flu, but it kept getting worse. Mom took me to childrens hospital to find out my kidneys were almost septetic from being left untreated for so long. Got them so much as a child after this (one of the worst childhoods ever) and still get them now
Oh wow, I just got over one yesterday😂😂
When I was 5, I had a UTI for over a year and I would have fevers that would get all the way up to 108 degrees
I love how informative this is...compared to their other doctor answers video❤
I can't help but feel like this is intended more for women than men
Because its more common in women
this video is so good and informative!!
Acv
It's UTIs, not UTI's.
I refill a water bottle 4 times a day and it’s 30 ML of water I drink. And pee every 2 hours. Am I flushing the bacteria out of me good?
You need to be drinking more water if it’s only 30 ml I hope you mean 300 because that’s more accurate to the amount of water you should be drinkin
And there was me i believe that uti came from junkfoods stupid me
Tbt to the time I got a kidney infection from a UTI ❤️
Who thinks of grump cat when watching this 😢rip grumpy cat ❤️😭
It can spread from your bladder to your kidneys....
Urine is not sterile!! She needs to update her knowledge...
Bacteria are present at low levels in the urine of healthy people not suffering from a urinary tract infection. 50 years ago doctors thought it is sterile, but now with advanced technology we know it is not :)
Solveiga M-R Urine is sterile (free from microorganisms)
it’s hilarious when someone is chugging cranberry cocktail thinking it’s the the same as cranberry juice
If she’s a doctor she should know that urine isn’t sterile
Three things I got from this video:
1. Go to the doctors for treatment
2. Wait til it's completely gone before getting physical
3. Mortality (uncommon)
Doc are you from Assam????
Sugar free cranberry juice. Not that cocktail stuff, the real juice.
Breona Warren i cant stand that shii
I get cranberry tablets because we don’t have cranberry juice sold here, with one or two exceptions which are not commonly found in supermarkets.
Mean girls reference?
Breona Warren the best drink in the world
How do you know if you have a UTI?
The most common sign is you always feel as if you have to pee but when you go nothing or very little comes out. Your pee maybe a bit cloudy too. You may also feel pain in your lower abdominal area BUT, not everyone experience pain. Some don't have any pain at all but they have the other symptoms. See a doctor if ASAP if you notice any of those symptoms. Even if you feel it today and wake up tomorrow and it goes away. Have your GYNO get a urine sample and a culture. It may not show in the urine right away. The culture will show if anything is there. I have been to the doctor before and have been told I don't have a UTI because my urine showed no signs but a few days later the doctor called and said I had one because the lab results showed I did. I know my body. I pay attention. I knew, even when the doctor didn't. I had no pain whatsoever. I kept getting that "always have to pee feeling" the next day it was gone. I still scheduled an appointment with my GYNO and as it turns out I was right. My friend just died last month from a UTI that became sepsis. My experience happened before she passed. I could have very well been in the same situation if I had just ignored it.
I literally just got discharged from the hospital today bc I had a uti for a few weeks (didn’t know it) & it spread into my kidneys & went septic. Worst pain of my life.
Sorry to hear about that Samantha! Watch my review on UTI ruclip.com/video/yuBFCBd9I5M/video.html
PLEASEEEEE!!!! make sure you see a doctor every single time you get a UTI. See a urologist if this is something that occurs monthly. You may have other medical problems causing UTI's to occur so often. June 3 2019 I lost a dear friend of mine from an UTI that became Sepsis. Please take it from me, a UTI may seem like no big deal but it can certainly kill you! For 4 days her family and friend prayed over her while she was in a coma, hoping she would wake up, hoping she would fight it. None of us realized we were just watching her die. When the UTI becomes Uerosepsis your organs shut down. Unfortunately, she didn't realized how severe her condition was and by the time she was taking to the hospital it was too late. My friend was 36yrs old with a 6yr old daughter who now has to grow up without her mother because of damn UTI. PLEASEEEEEE pay attention to your body and get yourself checked every time. Your body will give you signs. DO NOT ignore them.
I got a kidney infection from a uti, I HIGHLY recommend you get it treated before anything else happens cause kidney infections are the absolute worst
Chantel B ya you can your kindeys and bladder are connected I got one it hurt so bad that kidney infection hurt so bad i couldnt walk and mommy has to rush me to the hospital all it started with a really small uti it’s cause and effect
Cause:i got a small uti Effect:I got a large kidney infection
I got sepsis from a uti that went to my kidneys then gave me pneumonia I nearly died. Get it treated!!!
Lanie Elizabeth I’m not sure if you can get kidney disease from a uti....
i have kidney disease from a uti and i couldn’t go to to my new york city trip bc i was in the hospital from external pain for 5 days
Tyra C. Mingo I’m sorry about your friend that must be so hard for you but I’m glad that you were able to inform others I hope your doing ok also that the daughter is coping alright my heart goes out to her and everybody involved including yourself I can’t imagine her pain and I hope she is alright.
I can’t help but notice that she has a really nice voice.
They say antibiotics so casually
I'm here like I CAN'T TAKE PILLS! 😭
I'm pregnant and had the worst UTI, ended up getting into my kidney and the back pain ( kidney pain) i had was horrible i couldnt sit or lay down or anything cause it was putting pressure on it or baby was moving and pushing on it ended up staying over night got antibiotics through an iv then got a prescription for antibiotics, once i finished the antibiotics though it keep coming back so now i have to take a small dose just once everyday to stop it from getting really bad until i've had the baby. Not fun at all
I'm using the word "void" for when I poop now.
"I'll be right back, I must void"
I immediately thought that too as soon as she said it 😂😂
Urine being sterile - that is misleading. It is "sterile" in that it is free of commonly detected bacteria, that would cause an UTI. There is already bacteria in there, but it's normally cultures that wouldn't cause an infection.
I was weirded out that my UTI didn't clear up with the antibiotics (culture came back positive and everything), but the pain moved. Then today I got my period. Hooray for endometrosis. 🙈
When she said cis-gendered! As a trans individual I really appreciated that
Watching this made me feel like I had to pee
Ugh I love when you guys do videos like this, so informative 👍🏾👍🏾
My mom passed away from an E. coli UTI infection that wasn’t caught in time and it spread around her body, she was pregnant with me.
I'm sorry about what happened
Tyra C. Mingo thank you very much, I miss her daily
Very sorry this happened to your mom
My first uti turned into a bladder and kidney infection.
Gayest_ofthe_Gay same thought i was dying was a fun time
Good job, RUclip Algorithm. I haven't searched anything about UTI. but yeah, almost every year I get UTI. So this is actually informative for me haha..
#CranberryJuice
I’ve gotten UTIs. There not fun at all. So just make sure everyone gets informed by this video, and stay safe out there! And go see a doctor if need be!
Sorry but you forgot about kidney disease ! That’s a risk factor as well , so if you have kidney disease then it’s so easy to get UTIS
Also if you are prone to UTI from a weak immune system or kidney disease like me then you’ll probably be on anti biotics for about 2 weeks through IV
WHO HATES UTI'S
( I ITALY HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW SND IM IN THE HOSPITAL USING MOBILE DATA ALL BECAUS ID MY UTI's
Get better soon! I'm also dealing with my first UTI I've ever had and I wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy
anyone struggling with recurrent utis needs to research the embedded UTI theory and professor malone lee's work in london. he is my consultant and is one of the only consultants in europe to specialise in this area. Please educate yourseld on this epidemic of a condition.
