Labour MP Dr Allison Gardner has spoken out about living with the searing pain of chronic urinary tract infections for a decade, a condition that left her feeling dismissed by medical professionals and driven to despair. Gardner is now leading a cross-party group of MPs to improve recognition and treatment of chronic UTIs, which affect over 1.6 million women in the UK but lack an official medical definition.
