Girls be careful! 3rd UTI in 2 months, kya karein? 😣

Hey everyone... I really need to talk about something. I’m a 21-year-old college girl and I’ve been dealing with this UTI thing for like the third time in two months. The burning sensation while peeing is honestly unbearable. It feels like someone is holding a lighter down there. 😣

So yesterday, I had a really bad episode after my hostel washroom trip. I feel so gross using those dirty toilets—there’s always water on the floor and the flush barely works. I tried drinking more water and cranberry juice, but nothing is helping. My roommate suggested some over-the-counter medicine for burning, but I’m scared to try it without a doctor.

The worst part? I can’t even talk to my mom about this. She’ll just blame me for not being “careful” or say I’m making it up. And my friends? I’m too shamed to tell them. They’ll think I’m dirty or something. 😞

Has anyone here tried D-mannose or those AZO tablets? Do they actually stop the burning? Or should I just go to a college clinic? I’m so confused and scared. Please help a sister out. 🙏
