UTIs are normal

Or perhaps we should use the word “common” instead of “normal.” Normal signals the idea that something is okay, and nothing feels okay about having a UTI. But those who get them often can feel like they are abnormal, so there is some merit in the word. If you get them often, you’re “normal,” per se, because they’re common. In fact, Cynthia Plotch, one of Stix’s co-founders, informs us that, “Sixty percent of women get them at some point and up to a quarter get recurring UTIs. It affects most women, but despite that, the market hasn’t had much for it.”
