There's no option for me to vote. I USED to get UTIs. Within the span of a year I had at least four. This was with good hygiene, and peeing after sex. I know this is going to sound weird to some, but ever since I added raw milk-yes, raw milk-to my diet, no UTIs. I belive it strengthens my immune system in a way that probiotics from any other source can (and believe me, I've eaten TONS of sugar free yogurt and taken probiotic pills.) Now I'm in a state where I can't buy raw milk (crazy, isn't it? You can smoke cigarettes and eat fast food all day long but real, nutritious milk is ILLEGAL) so, I just buy raw milk CHEESE and eat a piece every day.

unfortunally, ever since i was a baby, i have been very prone to getting ANY kind of infection, yeast and UTI easily, so I get them at least a couple times a year.
which leads me to be VERY clean around there, and it normally leads me to taking extra time to make sure my toys are cleaned along with my husband.

If I even THINK one may be coming on with symptoms (like frequent urination or urgency), I take cranberry supplements. They do *wonders* for me if I catch it before it becomes greatly infected.

It seems like UTIs (urinary tract infections) are a pretty common complaint among women. I'm just curious how frequent they are for the majority of us. So, how often do you get UTIs?

I get them all the time. I had my first one when I was three years old. I remember screaming in the bathroom.
They got bad around the time I became sexually active. I had to have surgery on the urinary tract when I was in college. I then went years without any UTIs except for when I was pregnant. Now, I'm getting them again. I was in the ER about two weeks ago, with bleeding and pain on urination. I also had kidney involvement, and I'm still on Cipro, which makes me feel like crap.
I'm really scared I'll have to have surgery again. It was a bitch. Worse than my C Sections or any of the uterine surgery I've had. I DO NOT want to have this urinary surgery again, so I'm putting off going to a Uro-gynecologist. I do all the 'right' things, I take acidophilus, I take cranberry supplements, I pee before and after sex, I drink at least a gallon of water a day. I've always had shitty health. Some things never change.
