Zero sympathy. You try weeing after childbirth.

That might require major structural modifications

Having had a UTI many years ago, I have nothing but sympathy. The simile "like pissing razor blades" is entirely accurate

Then again, evolution does seem to have worked in such a way that women have to put up with a lot more torment of that ilk than men. It's probably due to women being strong and surviving despite having to endure tremendous agony as part and parcel of being alive and fulfilling their biological imperative, whereas men are a bunch of wimps who crumple and succumb to the mildest twinge (e.g. "I've got flu" when the merest hint of a cold strikes).

Having two kids, I have to disagree, it was perfectly fine.

I thought I would pass on the message so your woman knows I'm safe again.

He's back on the market ladies. Watch out!

Keeping yourself well hydrated means you have to pee more often, but it hurts considerably less.

One can only imagine what that poor woman has to put up with night after night. Hardly a catch are you RC?

C'mon on, cheer up. I was only pulling your plonker. (With rubber gloves on, admittedly.)

You should be a happy bunny now your baby-maker has a certificate of cleanliness.

The state of your manky muck-chucker has never been far from all our thoughts, I'm sure.

Just had the piss tested. Seems to be OK, no white cells.

Well, super.

Lovely.

Great.

Thanks for the update.

We've been worried.

Green Mile was a great film. Be honest, you are hoping for a huge black guy to come along and squeeze it better.

The 'sonic screwdriver' has been applied?

You mean the boulder buster?

...I thought he must have overplayed it. "nothing can be as sore as that, it is just an infection"

Tom, you deserve those Oscars.

Had a bit of a sore lower tum since I came back from Bali where I had a few days of the squirts and a few burning pees. Things came to a head tonight when I went out for a quick beer in the pub. Went off for a quick wizz.

Thank God nobody was in or came in when I was at the toilet, it's not a good thing to be at a rough Glasgow pub urinal with the knees half bent, quivering, face you should only keep for the bedroom, mumbling in a high pitch "oh Jesus, oh Jesus".

A sanded pipe cleaner and a vinegar piss come to mind.

Got up the road and the girly asked me to pee on a stick. Urinary track infection diagnosed, straight on antibiotics.

Put me off my beer now.

Can also try D-Mannose tablets

D-Mannose is a special tree bark sugar that flushes out the e-coli, which is the most common type of bacteria that causes UTI (There are other bacteria types but they less common).
