Remember kids, if granny suddenly gets real weird, take her to the hospital.
Out of the way quick, if grandma gets weird call an ambulance or someone around the facility responsible for that stuff. Some common things need fixing faster than at the end of a return trip like blood sugar. Even UTI violence is past the point of taking her.
Healthcare peeps know this is related rule:
I can’t smell.
So that time my kid had a UTI and she bare knuckle brawled two nurses and an orderly and they had to straight up strap her down to get an IV in that she couldn’t rip out in a split second wasn’t because she was a badass, she was just symptomatic?
nah, she could do that because she was a badass
In Ontario you can just ask the pharmacist for UTI medication and they’ll give it to you. No hospital required
The problem is realizing that you have a UTI. Post menopause, it’s more difficult to determine, but I’m not a doctor and I don’t know why.
I hope it’s that itching is just not a symptom, but I worry that itching/burning is just more frequent after menopause and women learn to live with a baseline discomfort level (the things nobody tells you about what can happen to your body during and post pregnancy and menopause are truly concerning, both in amount and severity- I get that I’m an adult and need to educate myself, but it’s hard to know what you don’t know).
Either way, the first reported symptom for elderly women with UTIs is often them going fucking nuts (sometimes mean, sometimes just nonsensical behavior).
Not if its in your balls! (The pain is one which I never never would wish on my worst enemy)
