Does anyone have an idea what to do with chronic UTI? I am C 6 quad and I have been fighting with this for 25 years. Pls help thx.

Have you looked through the Bowel and Bladder sub-forum? There's several threads on treating UTI's.

Also, what kind of catheter are you using?

Thanks for your email.

No I have never had this done yet. What would they look for when they look through the bowel? Doctors looked in my bladder and say everything looks fine.

I use the condom cath.

Its so hard to go to work and have to deal with UTI every month. I just finished a 10 day treatment. (Ciprofloxacin)

What I mean is that there is a section of this forum specifically for Bowel and Bladder issues. If you click on this link: Bowel and Bladder, you'll see it.

What about supplements? Do you take Vitamin C or Cranberry tablets? Changing the acidity of your urine might help with infections.

If they are e-coli infections - try d-mannose in the evening and Cranberry juice in the mornings
