Weird Things You Know How To Do If You Get Urinary Tract Infections

Experiencing A Phantom Sting

Some women have become so used to the symptoms of a UTI that they feel they have the symptoms of an infection even when they do not. They may have experienced UTIs so frequently that it feels abnormal not to have one, so their mind conjures up symptoms of a UTI to bring a sense of normalcy to their life. At first, some women may have trouble distinguishing between phantom symptoms and real symptoms; they may find themselves downing cranberry drinking and popping cranberry pills even when they do not have an infection. But after a while, women with frequent UTIs learn how to tell the difference and can quickly recognize when they are experiencing a phantom sting. Phantom stings do not bother these women anymore and instead give them a reason to chuckle.
