Women have taken to Twitter to call out doctors who fail to treat their urinary tract infections efficiently, denouncing a lack of constructive advice from medical professionals.

Twitter user @floozyesq started the movement on Wednesday by writing: 'We need a Disney princess with chronic UTIs who goes to the doctor and the doctor tells her to always pee after sex and the princess says she's already doing that and the doctor says well that's all the advice I have.'

The tweet, which has received more than 29,000 likes, generated a series of responses from other patients who shared the feeling and said they had been given the same useless tip too.

Condition: Everyone can get UTIs, but having a vagina increases the risks because the urethra is shorter, meaning that bacteria is closer to the bladder

'My doctor gave me the same advice before I had even ever seen a penis,' one of them wrote.

Everyone can get UTIs, but having a vagina increases the risks because the urethra is shorter, meaning that bacteria is closer to the bladder.

UTIs typically occur in the bladder and the urethra, though other parts of the urinary system can be affected, including the kidneys, as noted by the Mayo Clinic.

Symptoms include a burning feeling when urinating, a persistent need to use the bathroom, and pelvic pain.

The infection can typically be cured with antibiotics, but if left untreated, can damage the kidneys permanently or even lead to sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Berry: Someone also poked fun at those who tell UTI sufferers to take cranberry extract pills. The fruit is often presented as a remedy, although research remains inconclusive

Urinating after sex is often presented as a way to prevent UTIs, along with drinking enough liquids and wiping from front to back—but several Twitter users indicated they have already taken preventive steps to no avail, and are longing for a more efficient remedy.

'Lol seriously, if UTIs were as common in men science would have had the miracle cure figured out 30 years ago,' one of them wrote.

Some women recounted having to visit the emergency department due to their UTIs, without being provided with a helpful solution.

'Literally just went to Urgent Care today and had this convo,' one Twitter user replied to @floozyesq's original tweet. 'I haven't even had sex in over a year!'

'UTIs are the devil. They sent me twice the ER in the last six months alone,' another woman said. 'I wish there was a UTI vaccine. At this point, I show up, tell them I have a UTI, they test me and say "Yep, that sure is a UTI", give me a Px, and away I go. And then return three months later.'

One Twitter user pointed out that using a wheelchair means she is more likely to contract UTIs and develop complications—while suffering through similarly frustrating interactions with medical professionals.

'Another free gift you get with being a wheelchair-user is increased risk of UTIs and kidney stones so an increased risk of utterly useless and ineffective medical advice,' she wrote.

Someone also poked fun at those who tell UTI sufferers to drink cranberry juice or take cranberry extract pills. The fruit is often presented as a remedy for the condition, although research as to whether it actually helps prevent UTIs remains inconclusive.
