My family is so weird when it comes to UTIs for some reason. I got them a lot when I was little and if I said out loud that it burned when I peed my family would yell at me and told me to never tell anyone about that and it’s personal.

I remember one time I cried going to school because I peed before we left and it burned and my mom said “omg please don’t go to school and say that “

I want to say that they always took me to the doctor for it. But now as an adult, I can’t believe my family acted like it was something horrible and that I should have been ashamed of it.

Even now as an adult. I recently had a UTI and my mom said “ you didn’t tell your boyfriend did you ?” And yes I did, he was the first person I told.

I haven’t had one since.
