Bladder treatment for UTI

Hi there,

I'm a 22 year old female, and i suffer from reoccurring UTI, I've been told this is due to having duplex kidneys. I've tried every antibiotic, and end up just becoming resistant to them.

I had bladder re-implantation when I was younger due to having kidney reflux.

Recently I've been offered this bladder treatment using a catheter, its a solution that lines my bladder. I already had a cystoscopy last year and I remember how ill i was after that. I just wondered if anyone knows more information about this? The hospital have hardly told me any information, and I have to make a decision by tomorrow whether I want it. I literally got the phone call today about an appointment. The treatment begins with the letter H but I cannot remember for the life of me what it's called.

With working on a forensic mental health unit for male offenders, a catheter is not ideal for me. Especially if I'm restraining people and this is my dream job, and I was already off sick with pneumonia over summer, so I cannot afford more time off.

I was aware they were going to put me on the medication Hiprex one, as apparently its the same as the solution.

If anyone has any information about this treatment, I'd be really grateful.

    Hi, I think it may be Hyacyst that you've been offered. There's a fair amount on the Internet about it. I would have thought it's worth having a go
