Get a second opinion NOW. Make an appointment with another urologist, AND a nephrologist (kidney specialist). I got second and THIRD opinions and it turned out that my first doctors treatment plan was completely wrong for my condition. Be prepared to start over with tests etc. Also, don’t be afraid to SPEAK UP. Don’t let the “white coat” intimidate you. Take a list of symptoms and questions with you. Take notes and don’t leave until your questions are answered. This is your HEALTH and you need to be strong and get answers. Please keep us up to date on your progress. Those of us on this forum care and want you to be healthy!

Have you ever taken cranberry/d'mannose capsules for prevention of the UTIS?

It seems to me UTIs being not permanent cure, doctors become agitated when visited. I know mine is. Towards the end of my appointment, I tried to ask about cranberry/d'mannose she got up walk toward the door and said, "you have another uti go to urgent care". Her compassion is no longer. Did you know Mayo Clinic said they don't have enough Uro doctors to see for Utis? They turned me down from all three hospitals. Thank for the advice, Kathy
