Besides the reasons already mentioned, my dr told me some women just have shorter urethra than other women (and women have shorter ones then men) and so they get more UTIs. Thankfully, I've only had a handful of minor ones. But they were terrible.

Feel better soon.

Yeah, I stop drinking my usual soda and coffee and try to stick mainly to cranberry juice and water whenever I get one. Sigh.

I think I may be in the same boat as Theta and ZTAngel I've had SO many in the past few years it's getting ridiculous.
