Chronic UTIs, the hidden health crisis ruining women's lives

The i Podcast

Show Notes

More than a million women in the UK are thought to be suffering from an illness that is leaving some of them bedbound, unable to work and battling with the mental strain of a debilitating condition. But you probably won’t have heard of it.

Chronic urinary tract infections can be terrible for sufferers, but experts warn that the awareness, testing and treatment for them is simply not good enough. In this week’s episode of The i Podcast we are taking a look at why this is – and what can be done about it.

i reporter Connie Dimsdale joins host Molly Blackall to discuss her reporting on the hidden women’s health crisis sweeping the UK.
