So I woke this morning, 3 days after surgery and i feel like I am either getting a UTI or am very irritated from the cathedar.

Did anyone else get this?

    You can get a UTI from being catheterized. I suggest that you not put it off, but get in touch with your doctor in case you have a UTI.

    I had a uti 5 days after op its quite common due to the catheter. I had a strong dose of antibiotics to help clear it.

      Remember to drink lots of water and take probiotics to replenish your gut bacteria.  Also, be mindful of any allergic reaction.  Lots of people take it and do well, but I'm allergic, so I always think of this.  

      Take care, and let me know how you get on!
