Hi all. Ever since my ~ sophomore ish year of college I’ve had near constant reoccurring utis, so about 6 years now. I’ve only been sexually active 3 years so this began before that.

Every time I take heavy antibiotics, it goes away for 4 days to a week or two and then it’s back. I’ve talked to so many drs. We’ve gone over what soap I’m using, how I wipe, what I eat, what I wear. I don’t drink enough water and that’s always blamed but could that alone really be causing this? At this point I’m not entirely sure it’s an uti and not being misdiagnosed.

I have all the classic uti symptoms, urgency to pee, pain or blood when peeing, having to sit in the toilet for like 15 minutes after peeing because of pain, a little incontinence but I also have a few odd symptoms. My clitoris has really started to hurt when urinating lately, it’s almost like an arousal or climax but hurts. Additionally if I drink alcohol at all, even when I’m not feeling like I have a uti, my clit hurts so bad I have to set on the toilet for 10ish minutes then the sensation goes away. It didn’t use to do that. Some times I can’t control my bladder stream. Like if I just need to poop, the pressure just forces out a small amount of urine too. The most concerning symptom is my lymph nodes in my arm pits keep becoming enlarged and swollen.

Any suggestions?

For the last couple hours there’s been a very loud bang going off occasionally. It sounds louder than a gun shot more like a cannon or a transformer about to go. Any idea what’s going on? Thanks!

I’ve been staying in Davis for the last week and every night around 9:40ish a loud gunshot / firework sound goes off. It’s really loud. Im not sure what it is or why it goes off once every night. Is it related to some sort of protest against the data center? Thanks!
