@patrick78 After this last UTI, I messaged my urologist. I got an appointment next week on the 20th. Going to do a second cystoscopy . The first was nearly 1 year ago. He has another urologist that came out of retirement to help him and he is going to do the procedure so it will be a new set of eyes looking for what may be causing my UTI’s. In the meant time I go to my nephrologist tomorrow to check on my kidneys. I waited over 18 months to get an appointment. Living in Northwest Arizona limits the number of doctors available. I am on my 5th PCP in 6 years!

@elcorbs I had the new urologist do my cystoscopy and he has recommended I do the TURP procedure to correct what I am calling a flap over my bladder neck. My urologist has agreed and will do the TURP procedure ON 3 March. This surgery is supposed to fix my incontinence and recurring UTI issues. I was told the surgery will take 1 hour or less. I am praying it works. It has been a pretty miserable 15 months since the HOLEP.
