Anyone had colpocleisis surgery? I want to learn more

I have had three prolapse surgeries, uterine prolapse surgery in 2011…vaginal prolapse surgery in 2017 and rectocele repair 5 weeks ago. Recovery was going well until I developed a UTI over two weeks ago. Per my urogynocologist…vaginal bacteria has gone into my bladder. I took Cephlex until she got lab results, then was put on Flagyl…now am taking Leviflaxin, my third antibiotic. I have the constant urge to pee, it is maddening, especially at night. The doctor gave me a 14 day supply of Gemtessa (Vibegron) to help with symptoms and I have made an appt to see a urologist in two weeks. Does anyone else struggle with constant UTIs? I go online and read about these things, and it causes more anxiety, not good with feelings of urgency to pee. I may not be on the right thread…oh…and when I looked for a possible appt with Phoenix Mayo I saw they only treat issues like this for females from ages 12-65…unless I misunderstood.

I have recurring UTI'S for at least 6 months & before. I have taking Methenamine Hipp 1 gram twice a day (every 12 hours). For the last 4 months I have not had an UTI. I am scheduled to have Colpocleisis surgery because of my stage 4 bladder prolapes. I'm praying that this will also help my UTI problem too.
