@ButterflyStar Yes I am! I’m so much better because I usually would Run to a doctor every day Honestly. The only reason I freak about UTI is because I read If you don’t treat them they can progress quickly to your kidneys so I never want to leave anything untreated

Hey! Yes sounds like a uti. I understand what you mean It's so uncomfortable. I would take some pain relief - and contact a doctor so they can give you an antibiotic. Explain to them you probably think it is a UTI. Did this come out of nowhere? Or did you recently have sex? (if you don't mind my asking, you don't have to reply but it's related).😅 Good proper wiping direction after urinating is really important. Always peeing after sex is a must. Never have sex with the urge to pee/full bladder, just go pee. And general hygiene around sex is important because its very easy for bacteria to be spread from bum to vagina, or from your partner. Sorry if that's TMI 😂, just incase!

Oh no so you think it’s a UTI?:( I’m so scared because I really have always been afraid of getting them and tried to prevent them.. I didna few days ago but I peed after and took cranberry pills. I don’t have the sensation anymore it kind of started while I was holding in pee while driving , and then I feel the urethra I guess get really irriTted and feel weird (like the tube itself).. when I pee there’s no pain or blood. It’s better this morning so idk

Hi! It sounds like a UTI, but could also be nothing and I’ve had plenty before! The vast majority of UTI’s Can be very mild, i sometimes have what you’re experiencing and drink water for a few days and it goes away, other times it’s gotten worse and i’ve needed antibiotics. If your anxiery is surrounding health, I would just try grounding yourself a bit and focus on what’s in front of you and taking the proper precautionary measures (as you already have) but also fostering uncertainty of “the worst” always being a possibility. Drinking a lot of water has always helped me to get rid of that feeling/pain!

Ok thank you. It’s weird between I took UTI test strip last night and this morning and both were negative . I don’t have any burning Or pain it just felt more like inflammation or irritation internally but not when the pee came out if that makes sense

@j123 Yes I get what you’re describing. The urinary area can be in that gray area sometimes unfortunately. If both tests say negative I would say that logically you are probably in the clear, though as we know anxiety doesn’t listen to logic. Hope you feel better though! ❤️

I was diagnosed with gallbladder sand(sludge) which is not gallbladder stones yet but it can become that, and normally it does not have any symptoms but for me, I feel pain on the right side of my stomach. And i read about it and everywhere on the internet it says its gallbledder issues. I took medicine for it for 10 days and today the treatment ended but i still feel that pain and I start to worry. It's not unbereable, but it bugs me, why the right side of my stomach hurts... It says it sbould feel like a stabbing pain but I cant describe how it feels. I'm worried that it got worse or nothing happened. And it makes me angry cause before i didnt noticed it, I only remember 1 night when i had this pain, but since the diagnosis I felt it everyday...People say its because I avoided the feeling or didnt noticed it which makes me scared. I have to go back in 2 weeks to see if the sand is gone but till then idk how to stop worrying and noticing this pain. Worrying makes it 10x more painful.

so about a week ago around june 12 or 13 coming back from the beach i was having vulva pain on one of the lips then eventually i went to grandmas house and everytime i bent down or moved around i was having some sharp pain “down there” eventually i was scared and then it started to kinda hurt to pee… and i was like ok this is kinda worrying me eventually i forgot about it for two days it didn’t hurt but then i come back and start to have it again. so then i was like okay i’m just gonna schedule a doctors appointment. i schedule my doctors appointment got tested and i was negative for UTI but i was having bad lower back psi so they sent off a cultural test and told me a few days after that i have bacterial vaginosis so i was like ok i’m guessing to get antibiotics for it… i get the antibiotics yesterday theyre capsules i can’t swallow them but i cut them and put it in apple sauce where it was so gross the smell was awful and the taste was awful… atp i got a liquid i haven’t took it yet.. but my stomach has been hurting and had numbness and weird tingling feeling down there… where it’s scaring me and now my stomach hurts almost like cramps but it makes me so nervous… i keep thinking i have ovarian cancer or some type of cancer or a cyst or kidney stones… even tho they told me i have bacterial vaginosis somehow i can’t believe them… but i soon start my period on the 30th and my OCD gets so bad 2 weeks before my period and symptoms start a week before my period… idk i’ve never had this OCD go out for so long but like my urine looks fine it’s just when i pee now it’s almost feels weird idk my stomach is hurting rn when i lay down and i’ve been freaking out ugh. and this morning i had sorenness down there… i also had some inner thigh pain… i can’t stop googling i keep thinking it’s something worse than i have from what the doctor told me
