Oh, you would know if you had a UTI... the constant feeling of having to pee, but then when you do pee, only very little comes out, and you still feel like you have to pee... and it HURTS!
I have had so many UTIs that I got to the point where I asked my GYN what I could do about it, and she gave me a prescription for the antibiotic to take whenever I have sex (or even masturbate... the vaginal fluids have bacteria that can also cause a UTI), just in case, and firm orders to pee after. I also get either Azo or Uristat (they work the same, just depends on what's in the store) over the counter, and take that if I feel something coming on. Those help the having to go pee feeling. I also take the Azo/Uristat when I'm going out drinking, because once you break the seal, it's all over... this way, you don't have to go pee until you get home. =)
