UTI/ cystitis - what to do now
Posted , 2 users are following.
For the last 2 years I have been suffering with recurrent UTI. I was having them at least every month. I saw my gp who referred me to urologist, who put me on 2 months of a low dose antibiotics, these worked completely and I did not suffer with a UTI. However a few days after I came of these I suffered with a UTI which didn't clear up for over 2 weeks with 2 courses of antibiotics. My urologist put me back on 2 more months of this low dose antibiotics. One month in and all was going well until I got another UTI whist on these antibiotics. I have the painful symptoms for 3 days now and I am reluctant to go to the doctors for antibiotics as I don't want to hav to reply on these. I have brought d mannose and been drinking adding that to a glass of water in the morning and evening but this does not seem to be helping. I hate these UTI, they get me down effecting my life as I am in so much pain. I hate to think I am going to sluffer for the rest of my life, but is this the reality that every week/ month I suffer for weeks my whole life?
Does any body have any suggestions??
Also should I go to the doctor to get rid of this UTI or try and get rid of it on my own?
Please help
Thank you

previously my urine has showed ecoli but I think sometimes it has shown negative which doesn't help. I think I will get it dipped and sent to lab to see what it is.
thank you for your reply, I am trying to look for preventative strategies as well for when I'm not on antibiotics!! Xx
