"Obviously I can’t comment re the menopause and its impact, that said, regular UTI’s are “often a sign of something else”, I’m quoting an Endocrinologist who I’ve recently spent time with. As a bloke, UTI’s are really uncommon and different to female reoccurrence, but mine just wouldn’t go away; eventually a Plastic Surgeon friend dragged me to his Endocrinologist colleague and it’s a game changer. You’ll need detailed urine and kidney function tests to establish your eGFR and if CKD symptoms are present. Don’t panic when you google these terms, all adults lose eGFR at a rate of circa -1 per year; mine is 91 which signals early onset CKD and I shit myself with fear; that said, I could have had poorly performing kidneys all of my life, nobody knows! My root cause was lack of fluids given I now live in predominantly hot countries and constantly sweating day and night, even in air conditioned spaces; I’m on four litres a day now and all good. Appreciate UK based GP’s that will lead you to an Endocrinologist are rare as hens teeth and cost of the latter maybe eye watering but don’t suffer in silence and say no to constant antibiotics or ridiculous cranberry juice wives tales; most cranberry juice is sugar anyways, you’d need supplements, which also aren’t cheap. PM if you want me to bore you with more, otherwise, good luck and keep pushing for the answer!" I told a eurologist once that whenever I’m working in Manila I often get UTI’s this makes lots of sense | |||

"The term 'itis' has two meanings, infection and inflammation. Have you had this checked out? Once you've worked out what the culprit is. As a man who has had bladder-itis, this seemed wierd to my GP as to why. What urologists don't do is think holistically. It's not just what's happening to the GUM area, it's what's happening next door. The bowels. I don't just mean the poor hygiene of women wiping bottom first, I'm talking IBS, as this inflammation of the lower digestive tract has been linked affecting the bladder. This spillover is poorly researched as urologists don't as about IBS because that's a proctologist's job. I am speaking from experience here. Think about how fear affects the bladder and bowels. This mental urge is to release the contents due to fear is in common parlance: to shit oneself or wet your pants because the car nearly went of that steep mountain road, is a prime example of how stress can ruin your day and undies. The shared nerve pathways come into play here. We need to get into the habit of asking if one illness/condition is triggering another one. Think holistically, think smarter. " Itis = inflammation. Then you look at the cause, which is often an infection, but not always. You're correct in stating the interconnectedness of bodily systems. | |||

I wished I could tell my urologist this, but I can't be arsed waiting 8 weeks for a written letter to travel 20 odd miles or 4 years for a face to face chat. She's never heard of email BTW. | |||

"Another one, I keep getting them it can be a common problem when going through the menopause. This is my second infection this year! And no cranberry juice doesn’t work apparently I’d have to drinks gallons for it to make a difference and I really need something that helps me to stop getting them in the first place. Any advice gratefully received, a totally fed up flamingo x" Ask your Doc about Vagifem or equivalent... It's amazing for recurrent UTIs in peri/meno among other things x | |||

It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about. As a HCP I can say a good diet is essential to good health. | |||

Any advice gratefully received, a totally fed up flamingo x" Hi P.F. Are you self diagnosed? It's best to get the doctor to send off a sample so that they can identify and treat accordingly. Self diagnoses often leads to treating something that you don't actually have. Good luck xx | |||

Self diagnoses often leads to treating something that you don't actually have. Good luck xx " I went to my GP and hospital for years and they done all sorts of tests and ultrasound scans and we're absolutely useless they messed up my gut with too many antibiotics and I was forced to go down more natural holistic routes and I have written down over 20 issues that have resolved since changing my diet. I know that decent doctors do exist but most of them just read, remember and regurgitate textbooks and never think outside the box or question anything which isn't intelligent or helpful, the kind of doctors who were telling people to smoke tobacco not long ago to clear the lungs and not much has changed they're just pushing different drugs now. Taking charge of your own health and realising how simple most conditions are is very empowering and while certain drugs may save a life during an emergency no one should be settling for taking vast amounts of drugs regularly when often there's a ridiculously simple solution | |||
