ORIGINAL: lusciouslips19 By 2 days later I had a UTI. Thanks Mr Mensa. Youre so effin brilliant. I am genuinely curious, since I've had some pretty painful UTI's...what's the big deal about UTI's? Antibiotics and they're gone. A week or so of being uncomfortable and then they're gone. The worst I had made me incontinent for a couple of days, but in all seriousness, are there long term permanent effects from these? UTIs can turn into pyelonephritis (kidney infection), which if not treated properly can permanently damage kidneys or worst case: spread into your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening infection. I have a scar on one of my kidneys from a kidney infection. The infection caused tissue to die and slough off (and the pain was very similar to that of a kidney stone). Time from first UTI symptoms to that point: about 16 hrs. Thank you, angelikaJ, for actually taking my question seriously, because I really didn't know. I was hoping to get an actual answer, so I appreciate it.
