My Personal Battle with Chronic UTI’s
This post brought to you by Uricalm®. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Two Classy Chics.
How many of you have ever had a UTI? If you’re not familiar with that term, UTI stands for Urinary Tract Infection. Up to half of all women will experience a painful urinary tract infection in their lifetime and 20% of those will experience recurring UTIs, getting as many as 3 per year.
When I was 15 years old I had my first experience with a urinary tract infection and let me tell you, I can remember that first infection like it was yesterday. For the past 30+ years I’ve gotten at least 5 UTIs every year and I’ve seen countless number of doctors for them. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about them and to this day, I continue to learn even more.
One thing that I’ve been educating myself on is the use of a cranberry supplement to help support my urinary tract health. Matter of fact, I’ve been using a product called Uricalm that features a powerful combination of ingredients in a berry-flavored chewable. Take note of these 2 powerful ingredients:
Cranberry: Scientific studies have shown a link between consuming cranberry & maintaining a healthy urinary tract.
D-Mannose: This ingredient helps prevent the adherence of certain microorganisms to the walls of the urinary tract, allowing your body’s natural defenses to keep your urinary tract health.

For the past 2 weeks I’ve been taking Uricalm Cranberry with D-Mannose every day. The dosage is 2 chewable tablets, daily. The tablets are berry-flavored, so you don’t mind taking them at all. It’s an OTC (over-the-counter) supplement that is widely available at numerous retail, grocery & drug stores. I’ve been using the cranberry supplement to help support my overall urinary health.
When I get a urinary tract infection I get terrible burning when I urinate, pressure in my pelvic area, the urge to frequently urinate and at times…a fever. I feel absolutely miserable when a UTI strikes! If you’re looking for something over-the-counter to help alleviate these symptoms, let me introduce you to Uricalm Max, a urinary pain-relief medicine.
Uricalm Max promptly stops urinary pain, burning, increased frequency & the sensation of urgency to-go. It contains 99.5 mg of clinically-proven Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride per tablet and 199 mg. per dose. This is the most UTI pain medicine of this particular type that you can get over the counter. Want something stronger? Sorry, you’ll need a prescription for that!
It’s very easy to take with the normal adult dosage: Take 2 tablets with water after eating, up to three times per day, for a maximum of 2 full days. It should be used according to package instructions or as instructed by a physician. Like with everything in your medicine cabinet, please read and follow all directions before using.
Just like the first product I introduced you to, this one is also available nationwide at various retailers, grocery stores and drug stores.
