Chronic UTI: How do you prevent them?

@hopeful33250 Back to the Urologist this afternoon for results of biopsy. See what then. Dealing with several things at one time has me worn out and highly agitated and quite grumpy. I just want to stay home where I feel safe. Being poked and prodded by men is causing relapses. Can't be helped. All I ever see is the PA. I would not even know the doctor as I have never met him. Pretty fed up but still making appointments for now.

@parus I hope things go well for you this afternoon. Sometimes when I am making an appointment I discover they are making it with an NP or a PA. I speak up and tell them I want to see the doctor. Generally, I have to wait longer, but I feel more confidence in doctors than I do in NPs. Since you have an already diagnosed condition though, I think they should have you seeing the doctor, not the PA.
Please do post afterward to let us know how things went and what they had to say.

Hi Parus, if you can get in touch with Dr. Bernard Bochner in Memorial Sloan NY. I really think he can help you.
I wish you all the best!

I appreciate hearing from you with your update, @parus. Seeing PAs seem to help save the doctor time but I understand your frustration about not knowing what the doctor even looks like. Hopefully, the doctor will at least make an appearance.
Regarding the prodding by men and relapses, there are many of us who don't do well in that situation. it really does trigger stuff from the past, doesn't it?
Hang in there and keep strong. I hope you are able to post again after your appointment. I would like to know what the next steps will be.
