Alongside being a UK reality TV star, businesswoman and mother (among many other things), Marnie Simpson knows exactly what it’s like to experience chronic UTI and has struggled with UTIs since she was 17 years old.
Now 28, her UTIs have been chronic for the past 4 years, leaving her in constant pain, sometimes bedridden and unable to care for her infant son.
Marnie has launched a series of four videos in partnership with Live UTI Free, to open up about her chronic UTIs and encourage others to do the same.
UTI is the most common adult bacterial infection globally, and 1 in 2 females will have a UTI in their lifetime. Some, like Marnie, can suffer from chronic UTI for years. For an issue that’s so common and which can be so debilitating, UTIs are not talked about nearly enough.
