I am a very active 69-year-old woman who cycles up to 200 miles a week. I had rectocele repair surgery done six weeks ago by a urogynecologist and since then have developed what I guess is an ongoing UTI not helped by three different antibiotics. I tested positive for gharderella vaginalis, which I’m told is BV but I don’t have all of those symptoms just the urgency and the burning. I’m about to start my fourth week with this issue. I have pee urgency, burning and aching and by mid afternoon, I’m lying on the couch with a heating pad. Needless to say, it’s really hard to get to sleep at night having to get up to make trips to the bathroom every five minutes the uro gynecologist has essentially washed her hands of me. Beyond having me stay off antibiotics this next week and come in and give another sample. I’m really worried that I now may have a chronic issue with UTIs or there is even an issue with the surgery. I have an appointment with the urology PA next week. Nothing seems to be swollen. I do feel one stitch sticking out, but can’t imagine that would cause these problems.
