Chronic UTI

Posted by clkurth @clkurth, Sep 30, 2023

I keep getting UTIs about once a month. I’m guessing my immune system is weak in my bladder. I take cranberry gummies daily, use good hygiene, take D-Mannose supplements and have doubled my water intake. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I read yesterday about Cystitis Cystica which is a bladder infection that contributes to UTIs. I am interested in learning more about this. Since I've had prolapse bladder surgery, I've been off and on antibiotics and as soon as I stop it, the UTI comes back the next day. I cannot keep going on like this. I have an appointment scheduled with a urogynecologist, hopefully, he can get down to the bottom of what is causing this.

D-Mannose helped me greatly. I experience diarrhea 3-7 days per week and always got UTIs. Although the diarrhea continues I don’t get UTIs anymore. The D-Mannose seems to have solved that problem and I am so grateful.
