Always have a negative urine dipstick at the doctors despite having all the symptoms of a UTI?

In Part 1 of this important conversation, We sit down with Dr Catriona Anderson

, GP and specialist in chronic and recurrent UTIs, to uncover why standard urine dipstick tests so often fail women and what you need to know to challenge outdated advice and get the treatment you deserve.

This is an honest, deeply informative discussion around chronic urinary tract infections, menopause, bladder pain, sleep deprivation and the emotional toll these conditions can take on women’s lives.

Kelly also shares the reality of living with chronic UTI symptoms for over 13 years, including the impact on sleep, relationships, work, confidence and everyday life.

If you’ve ever been told “your tests are negative” despite knowing something is wrong, this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated and better equipped to advocate for your health.
