A woman who requires antibiotics nearly every two months has expressed her “stress and suffering” due to her infection’s increasing resistance to them.
Vale of Glamorgan resident Sian Jones has opened up about her experience in order to prevent others from feeling alone since she believes it is a subject that is frequently “considered taboo”.
Experts estimate that if nothing is done, drug-resistant diseases will kill more people by 2050 than cancer.
According to a Public Health Wales (PHW) microbiology expert, the problem would make Covid appear insignificant.
Since she was eighteen, Sian, now seventy-one, has experienced recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
“I feel ill with the infections, they’re painful, uncomfortable and it makes my mood feel low.”
She claimed it had an impact on daily living, occasionally requiring her to cancel plans.
