If you had asked me in early 2019 if I should be concerned about my hearing, I would have replied, not yet. I’m too young. I was so wrong. With October being Protect your Hearing Month, I’ve decided to encourage my readers to avoid what I have gone through. I’ve included 4 things to do now to protect your hearing.
This is what I suggest you do this month, or at least get the process going. You never know when you have waited too long to save your hearing.
You know the feeling, the awful feeling. You have another UTI. Urinary Tract Infection. As we age, we are more susceptible to urinary tract infections, especially after menopause. For anyone that has a hysterectomy, menopause may have come early, maybe in your thirties or forties. It’s not as common, but men can also get UTIs. A urinary tract infection is one of the top five most common infections.
Identifying a UTI
Once you have had one it’s easy to identify your next one. The signs of a UTI may vary by person. They include, but you may not necessarily have all of them: pain or burning feeling when you urinate, a burning feeling even when you aren’t urinating, and an urgency to go. With the urgency, if you ignore it you may not make it to the bathroom in time and when you arrive, you may be annoyed because only a little dribble will come out. It’s very frustrating, especially at night-time when you are trying to sleep. Other symptoms include cloudy or bloody urine, low-grade fever, and a change in smell or color of your urine.
