I actually hear from friends that they used to experience it before and I believe most of the girls out there were diagnose with it, guys too! But let me say my stories, after all it's my first time. Haha!
So I just got down from the plane last two days and the next day I woke up I felt slight pain when I urine. I thought that's not so bad but i know something was wrong. I didn't bother much till night time where I had to go toilet frequently and yet few drops of urine was out and it hurts so bad that I could not have a proper sleep. Therefore I consult my family doctor the next day. Did a urine test and confirm that I had urine infection. He actually mention that there's a lot of factor that causes the urine tract to get infection. Eg, unhygiene sexual intercourse, hold on to your bladder(causes the accumulation of bacteria), dehydrated, etc.. Normally they will ask you to revisit after few days to check if your urine are clear because it will come again few days later.
So here are some tips!
-Had cranberry juice with no sugar added. I believe it can help you relief the discomfort in some ways. Don't ask me why, I guess there's some ingredient that helps.
-Always visit the doctor when you are infected. I knew some that wait for weeks or months before they consult. NO! Your bacteria will be more and it takes longer time to heal.
-Had plenty of water to flush out the dirty fluids.
-Do not hold your bladder as it might worsen the condition.
-Avoid any sexual intercourse as you might pass the bacteria to your partner.
I am so glad that I am feeling better right now and went for early treatment because the feeling of having urine infection sucks. Now I know how it feels like. Last time when my friend was infected and went to the toilet frequently I was like WHAT seriously? That bad? Now I know...hahaha
