Urine Infection - Did Anyone Have Same Issue?

Hi ILs,

These days I’m having UTI when I travel India. This was only during my last 2 visits from overall 4 or 5 visits to India till now. I have consulted doctor, they mentioned it would be due unhygienic conditions in flights we travel. But what I don’t understand I didn’t had any issues during my initial days of travel but started observe only during my recent travels.

Last time was worse, keeping that in mind I tried to avoid using restrooms with direct contact in flights as much as I can but still it came back during my last visit.

Surprisingly it got subsided or reduced within 2 weeks once I’m back to US. It might not be correct but somehow I feel we use tissue and to clean after done with urination and I heard that usually prolonged wet vagina promotes chances of infection where we mostly use water clean after urination in India.

Sometimes I used to urine infection when I was in India but that was just confined to itchiness or discharge. But thes UTI that I’m getting these days are really irritating and headache as they are making me looked puffed or swelled face or body ( like I put on more weight) and tired most of the time. I am really sick of this because we hardly get chance to visit India due to work, distance, expenses of travel and etc. when we visit India with lot of hopes and plans to do things and visit family and the health consumes most of our time is really disheartening and annoying.

Could anyone let me know if you had similar experience with health issue and what did you do to minimize the chances of urine infection.

Appreciate your responses and suggestions in advance.

 

I have used the medication during the first visit, it got treated and I haven’t used them again. But when I got the infection again during my 2nd travel, I had to visit doctor again but it was little delayed as I was not aware of it as I thought I just put on weight and have fatigues due to travel.

No, actually I don’t usually hold and try to use restroom when needed.

Sure, will try to take the juice and thank you for the suggestion. Do you suggest any brand that is effective?

 

Okay, will look for it. Thanks!

 

Sure, actually it would be great if I can actually prevent it or at least minimize the chances of re-occurring or severity. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think I had once yeast infection when I was referring to itchiness. The other time it was bacterial infection.
