Hi everyone, I am 81 years old. I have been a double amputee for over 10 years. In the last year I have had 5 uti's. I was wondering if sitting(I don't use prosthetics)all the time can cause uti's. Although I have been sitting all the time for years, the problem has started last year. I don't want to keep taking antibiotics. I am going to see a. urologist but I just wanted to know if anyone has heard of my situation. Thank you

I’m 81 also and had constant bladder(genetic) UTI’s until I, and my aunts and uncles, started taking cranberry vitamin every day. NO UTI’s! Have no idea if yours has anything to do with sitting, but you sure have enough on your plate and do not need even one more UTI for any reason! You can get cranberry vitamin OTC at any regular place like Walmarts/ Target/ pharmacies. All the best getting back to health!
