• Millions of people in the UK live with chronic urinary tract infections, and campaigners are working to end the stigma around the condition. • One woman, Adrianne, has lived with a chronic UTI for nearly five years and waited two years for a diagnosis, during which she was wrongly told she had colon cancer or Crohn's disease, or that her partner must have been unfaithful. • What started as a single UTI in 2022 became a debilitating cycle of pain, urgency and sleepless nights. • She now shares her experience with thousands of followers online.
