Seriousness of Urinary Tract Infections
For the woman in this video getting a UTI on a regular basis was not concerning until just one UTI almost cost this woman her life.
Routinely getting urinary tract infections is commonplace for many women; doctors often prescribe antibiotics as urinary tract infection treatment but the problem with this form of treatment is that the women who receive the antibiotics on such a regular basis can build up a resistance to the prescriptions. In the case of the woman in the video, her body built up such a resistance to the antibiotics that she developed a kidney infection which then lead to sepsis, a deadly bacterial infection in her blood.
This woman’s serious case is an example of why urinary tract infection prevention is essential; prevention is especially important for women who routinely get UTIs and use antibiotics as treatment.
UTIs are painful and can lead to kidney infections . . . or worse
