I went to the doctor today and they ran a couple tests. Long story short I had kidney reflux when I was little and had surgery to correct it. I get UTIs all the time and the doctor found white blood cells and blood in my urine leading them to believe I have another one. She feels there is a chance my kidney reflux might be back or I have a blockage. My parents want me to call my urologist but I don’t want to. I’m tired of feeling this way. I have had five or six UTIs since November. I have to wait two days to get my results. Either way I decided I’m not calling my urologist. I haven’t told my family yet

I have had a UTI and it wasnt fun to deal with. I understand your pain. Try to take a deep breathe and remember things will work in your favor. Give yourself time to thing about your next action along this issue that troubles you. Continue to drink water, and calm yourself. Sending you love. ❤️

Woah UTIs are so painful. I'm sorry this is such a frustrating situation. Sounds like you maybe need a second opinion! I know it's tough but you should keep trying to find someone who can help.

Pain and illness make you feel worse emotionally.

UTIs are not to be ignored. If it goes to pyelonephritis it will be extremely painful, and will require hospitalization. In severe cases it can cause sepsis, which is bad. If you get treated you can always stop at anytime.
