Chronic UTI's after Chlamydia from five years ago

I had similar issue, ER or clinic every 3 weeks or so. Finally a young male nurse (the new ones hear all the new treatments it seems) and he suggested I try D-Mannose supplement. Now uti free for over a years. It's a sugar that coast the bladder lining and prevents irritants from causing 'lesions' in the lining, which then let in any bacteria there. E coli and others are in our body all the time at small amounts which in a normal person don't cause issues. Turns out I was told I have a spastic bladder, irritated by alcohol, chai latte, pop and to a lesser degree coffee. I cut out all but the coffee and some decaf diet cola. Otherwise, I drink lots of water, pee very often, don't take a long car trip unless the driver agrees to let me dictate when we stop. It is a blessing to not know the ER staff by name and have them roll their eyes when I open the door... Good luck..

My daughter did have clamydia early, and had a lesion between her vagina and anus that took about 3 years to heal. That infection is really a doozy it seems, leaving most all with post infection symptoms lasting for years.

I did not have ciamydia but frequent uti they wanted me to go on intermittent caths but I refused. Went on d-mannose over 3 years now. So far so good
