Written description:
I had a few times a urinary infection. It hurt so much that I avoided going to the toilets. After 3-4 times, I decided to go to the doctor. I don't drink a lot of water, and the doctor told me that was one of the reasons. Another reason was that after sexual intercourse, we should go to the toilets. As I understood, the purpose is to let your body liquids going out. Now I always go to toilets after sexual intercourse and try to drink more, and such an infection never happened to me again.

Oral description:
“Mine is the simplest. It's just to represent both sides in terms of both extremes, so I've got the small polyester ball, which is my representing the lighter symptoms. So the first symptoms that you get, first symptoms that you notice and then symptoms that you treat yourself, and then I've used the short wooden peg to join the two, because going from these light symptoms to going to worse ones can happen in a matter of hours. So it's a very short bridge between the two. And also on the positive side of that, it can take a very short amount of time to get better. For example, there's a three day antibiotic course that you can take now. Which happens when you get the worst symptoms. And then the worst symptoms of represented by the big wooden sphere. And this is the more serious symptoms, fever, et cetera, that require more medical attention so antibiotics.”
