I feel like I might have a UTI coming on... Do you know of any preventative measures I can take on my own to make it stop or should I just go see a doctor? I hate going to clinics for UTIs because the doctors always seem to be displeased when they discover I'm sexually active (even though I'm 18 and in a happy long-term relationship!)... Do you have any advice?

Oh girl. I literally just finished doing a round of antibiotics for the same thing. Aren’t they the WORST?

When I notice a twinge of UTI-like pain coming on, I drink a lot of water immediately (like at least a litre) and stay near a bathroom so I can try to flush the infection out as quickly as possible.

Some people say cranberry juice helps, provided that it’s unsweetened. I mix mine with water so it’s palatable.

Also, pee after any kind of sexual activity. And you might want to look into taking cranberry extract pills on a daily basis if your infections are really frequent.
