Since I only visit the doctor when I am ill, I was kinda taken aback by my doctors demeanor today. I'm 34 and have been blessed to NEVER before have a bladder / urinary tract infection. I had heard they were quite painful. Well today I experienced the full sha-bang!!! Felt a lot of pressure in the lower abdomen and a frequent urge to urinate. No burning or anything but a constant pressure that finally had me bent over in pain during my math class. So I call my doc. who says, "We'll see you at 4:00". GREAT!! After talking to friends at school I realized all I needed was a week of antibiotics and I would be just dandy. I urinated in the cup which tested positive for the bladder infection BUT I wasn't prepared for the questions that my doctor proceeded to ask. He asked if I was sexually active. I said, "No". And then he asked me why not??? Why not I said??? I said that I was not in a relationship where I felt the need to be intimate with anyone. Then he said, "Are you o.k. with this?" I felt I was being grilled by my doctor when all I needed was an antibiotic for a bladder infection. I told him that I was very happy with my life right now and am too busy... I wouldn't have time for a "true relationship". What the hell??? Why was my doc. hounding me? I asked how I could have possibly gotten the bladder infection and the three most common ways had nothing to do with sex.
It made me mad driving later to pick up the prescription. Was he insinuating I needed a man?? A sex life???
