I mean, it's mostly the older range of the spectrum, but I've absolutely seen 50-something year olds become acutely confused suddenly and ultimately get diagnosed with a UTI.
Source: 8 years in EMS. I get called by panicked family members all the time.
Ok even at that I’m sure what with working with people and asking of questions the other symptoms are present. They might not connect from one symptom to another to be a factor of another. I have made the mistake myself as have others who may not be over 50.
UTIs can be scary if you don’t know the symptoms are related at any age or gender. hence why I posted this and what to look out for.
Also didnt ask you for sources just so you can post here. Sorry if I’ve somehow upset you and you felt you needed to do show criteria? Just to be here?. You don’t need a license pass or whatever to post here just to be valid to have a civil discussion between humans with bodies. Let’s just be courteous and respectful.
