Recurrent UTIs After Hysterectomy: When antibiotics don't work?
I had a hysterectomy last year at age 38 due to uterine cancer. After which I started experiencing UTIs. Antibiotics never seem to work long and I’m concerned about becoming resistant. Has anyone had any luck with bladder instillations? I also just heard about the Uromune vaccine and was wondering if that’s been shown to be effective?

My main issues post-total hysterectomy (four months ago) have been genitourinary so I feel for you. I've had two yeast infections and vaginal dryness. I've luckily not had a UTI yet but my bladder is frequently sore from IC/BPS. Prior to surgery, my bladder hurt terribly from endometriosis and adenomyosis so I went for two bladder instillation at my then gyno's office. I can say they helped with pain but have no idea if they work for UTIs. I'm curious to know anything about the Uromune vaccine so thank you for sharing it.
