Baths causing UTI and Yeast Infection
I am the current proud owner of both a UTI and a Yeast infection.
My period is due in a few days and that should clear out my yeastie, and I've had UTIs before so I'm buying my usual cranberry supplements today so I'm not too concerened about how to treat them but I'm concerned about getting them back.
The shower in our house broke a few weeks back so we've been taking baths instead. Ever the economist, my mum has insisted that we share baths. Which I think is fine when you're little but not 3 women sharing a tub (me mum and sis)That's kinda gross to me. If I mention it she goes on at me about how we can't afford to use more hot water than we do (although I'm pretty sure the length of the showers my sister and I take amount to more than a bath each). Anyway, I was just curious as to whether or not my theory that sharing bathwater has caused my problems is true. I've never had a UTI and a Yeast Infection together before and this UTI is the worst I think I've had. It's really uncomfortable and I want to avoid it, if I can, in the future.
Thanks.
