default
Posted on Mon, 21 Apr 2014
Question: I was recently diagnosed with a UTI. If untreated it could have gone to my kidneys and caused a lot of problems. I cannot remember the name of it but it was one I thought I would never get. Could you mention a few different causes/symptoms to me so I can try and remember the name? THANK YOU
