I get them from sex and stress ): they suck I got one and it spread to my kidneys and I can't get rid of it.
ive gotten them like nine bajillion times in the past year. it sucks so bad. but then i started taking a 1,000mg cranberry supplement and a niacin supplement every day and i havent gotten one since!
Stress will definitely weaken your immune system, giving that bacteria a better chance of actually surviving to cause an infection...
Stress messes up your body bigtime. And then you get more stressed out cuz your body's out of whack! What fun cycles.. Anywho, drink lots of cranberry juice (if it's too nasty tasting, try cutting it with another juice or water), make sure you take your multivitamins! Vitamins are good.
Yes, stress will do it, definitely. Also not drinking enough cause your body doesn't clense its self the way it should. Drink lots of liquids especially cranberry juice or cranberry cocktail juice. I've also heard that grapefruit juice is good. Urinary infections suck. Hope you feel better.
