I was convinced I had a urine infection but the doctor has ruled that out so now I'm worried something has gone wrong after my posterior repair
I have no pain or discomfort but when I need to pee i get very little warning and then struggle to hold it in
Has this happened to anyone else? I'm 5 weeks post posterior op
The doctor has told me to continue with my pelvic floor exercises and to tell the consultant on my follow up.
Thanks

Hi Matron, yes he sent it off but all has come back clear. He said there were lots of white cells but that wouldn't be concerning due to the recent op x

White cells indicate infection and I don't like disagreeing with doctors but taking your symptoms into consideration I would have thought antibiotics would be prescribed. They would if you were an inpatient.

Sounds just like me! I'm back at work Monday and genuinely worried I might have an accident, I've spent ages planning in my head where the toilets are in each part of the building I might be in

I always thought white blood cells means bacteria? Thats what my doctor to!d mean last time I had one. I been taking d mannose powder and no infection since. I do take vagifem also to help with tissue health. X

Not necessarily. White blood cells are present if there's infection OR inflammation present. D Mannose isn't recommended for everyone and it should be discussed with a pharmacist or doctor first.

I would expect that steph with all that cutting and stitching 😂 I can remember the days when we didn't discharge patients until they'd had a blood test and their white cell count was within normal limits (those were the days) xx

There are some concerns about D Mannose because it can cause kidney problems and affect blood sugar control so it's unsuitable for diabetics however health food staff don't inform customers of these side effects. I'm surprised your GP has not heard about it because this information has been documented in the British Medical Journal amongst other professional journals. xx
