I had posted a medical dosage question I needed help with on the Reconstitution video awaiting your help.

I was recently diagnosed with a UTI for the first time (I’m 40) and they found that it was staphylococcus and Morganella Morganii. I am curious if it can be contracted by soaking in a bath? We have extremely contaminated water and currently have a class action lawsuit pending. I’m a mom of 4, so I don’t have a choice but to empty my bladder frequently. I only use baby wipes when going to the bathroom because I feel cleaner than having toilet paper lint or excessive use in the back. Just had hormone testing and only issue is low testosterone levels. Obviously no one can pinpoint the cause, but I am wondering if it is possible that it could have been caused from a bath? I don’t think you could believe just how bad the water is without photos or even the smell. Nothing medical can be used in the lawsuit anyways, so there is no reason to feel reluctant to answer. I’m just so confused as to how this specific bacteria could have happened. And no operation, I had blood drawn a few weeks prior and before that was probably when I gave birth in 2020.

How about just burning around the urethra with a negative home test and no burning while urinating
