Is it a UTI or an STI—or something else entirely?
In this episode, we unpack the often-overlooked confusion between Urinary Tract Infections and Sexually Transmitted Infections. With overlapping symptoms like burning, itching, unusual discharge, and frequent urination, it’s no wonder so many people misdiagnose themselves—or worse, delay getting proper treatment out of fear or embarrassment.
We explore:
- What causes UTIs and STIs, and how they’re actually very different
- Why symptoms can look and feel the same at first
- How to recognize red flags that signal it’s time to see a doctor
- The dangers of self-diagnosis and self-medication
- The emotional toll of not knowing what’s happening to your body
Whether you're sexually active, celibate, or somewhere in between, this episode is packed with honest talk, helpful tips, and a much-needed dose of clarity. Join us as we break down the myths, reduce the shame, and help you get informed and empowered—because your health isn’t a guessing game.
