Anyone dealing with recurring UTIs and bladder cancer? Concerned

Hi Janine,
I have found taking a Urinary Tract Antibacterial, which contains Methenamine Hippurate 1g works for me as I was also constantly coming down with UTIs.
The most well known brand is “Hiprex”, but chemists often have their own brands which are identical.
The recommended dose is 2 daily, taken as one in the morning and one at night.

Hi mochat,
Thankyou for that advice. I did consider this drug, but got freaked out when I read that the active ingredient hydrolyzes into “formaldehyde” in the bladder.
I now have appointment with Urologist this Friday. So will discuss options. I did get a email back from company that manufactures this new oral vaccine ‘Uromune’ or MV140. Helps prevent UTIs especially Enterococcus Faecalis . No studies done in regard to intravesical BCG as yet.
All the best
Janine
