She describes the disruptive symptoms she faced—frequent nighttime urination, fever, fatigue, chills, and night sweats—that interfered with her sense of feeling sexy. She admits she delayed seeking treatment, which worsened her condition, but after taking medication she feels much better.

Talk about some of the stuff that can really stop you from feeling sexy, and in my case, it's getting what I suspect is a urinary tract infection, or a UTI as it's commonly known. And what are the symptoms of that? Well, getting up to go for a pee in the middle of the night more often than you usually would can turn into a fever, fatigue, chills. Last night, woke up in the middle of the night soaked in my own sweat. Did not feel sexy, I can tell you, and made the mistake of going out the night before, which was really kind of stupid, and that just exacerbated the problem. So yeah, it's one of those things that can creep up on you, and if you do have all of a sudden that need to frequently get up and go to the toilet, you might want to check out whether there's something a little bit more significant going on. I know for me, I may have left that a little bit too long to the point where I had to take some medicine, and now I feel a lot better and much happier, but I probably should have dealt with it earlier. And I always say to people that if there is something going on that you think just isn't quite right, go and see a doctor.
