Observational Study on Emotional Impact of UTIs

This study aims to understand the emotional and psychological effects of positive urine culture results and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women, especially those with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) or Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS). Researchers want to learn how these experiences affect your emotions, coping strategies, and overall health. You may be able to join if you are a woman aged 18 or older with recurrent UTIs (at least 2 in 6 months or 3 in one year) and can complete questionnaires. You cannot participate if you've had a urologic procedure recently, a history of bladder cancer, or pelvic radiation therapy. The study plans to enroll about 170 women.
