Recurrent urinary tract infections were once a focal point the rest of my life revolved around. Was it possible to overcome constant UTIs and yeast infections? It took me around five years to find out that yes, I could. But to recover, I had to address a few main areas of my health. There is rarely such a thing when it comes to recurrent UTI.
I promise I will provide more insight into what worked for me, but I do want to say this:. Only by addressing the root cause of frequent UTIs can you hope to break the cycle of symptoms and treatment. Breaking the cycle will likely mean sacrifices, and this is a story about permanent change for the better. Learn everything you can about why UTIs can become recurrent , other causes of lower urinary tract symptoms , and how your overall health can prevent you from getting well.
Hopefully, my story will help. I had my first UTI at All I wanted was something to fix the pain, and for him to leave my sight immediately. He delivered in both respects.
The antibiotics worked within a few hours and I never thought about it againโฆ Until nine years later. As it turns out, I was really good at getting UTIs. If getting UTIs was a desirable skill, I nailed that skill for five years, with barely a break. I was going through a stressful relationship breakup, and selling my business, and was completely run down.
I was still exercising daily, and had a fairly healthy vegetarian diet, but stress took its toll. The UTI hit me fast. Life was way too hectic for me to put extra energy towards my health. Just as with my first UTI, the antibiotics worked and I dismissed it.
