What happens if my chronic urinary tract infection is left untreated?

Sepsis doesn't describe the pain enough.

You'll do anything to get rid of the pain. Treatment is simple once diagnosed. Some type of antibiotics.

@DeWayfarer Like a week regimen of pills, simplest thing ever.

@Punches I believe my treatment was quinine.

@DeWayfarer Like most infections, it could just go away on it's own BUT it could also spread.
Worst case scenario is someone's coochie could fall off.

@Punches I couldn't take the pain. I was forced to go to urgent care and be fully embarrassed by a much younger woman doctor with a even younger woman RN watching.

Both at first thought I was faking it.

@DeWayfarer You were thinking, "SOB, Why not just bring in the Hawaiian Tropic bikini team to watch as well?" 😡

But yeah I had a UTI once. What mine felt like was - you know that feeling when you REALLY have to whizz? Like you could put out the L.A. fires with it? Well for me, AFTER I would p*ss, my bladder felt that way. It was weird.
