Recurring cystitis / uti relief

[frodoxjodo]

I've suffered with uti since I started having relationships. I'd go to the doctors with a urine sample, they would tell me I have an infection, prescribe me antibiotics and they done nothing! A week later I'd still be in pain. I managed to get it under control with D Mannose, pure cranberry, Cystitis relief sachets, cleaning the area, wipe front to back, the whole lot, I feel I've exhausted every avenue and still keep getting uti after uti.

I'm at the stage where any type of antibiotics just aren't working, nothing is working. I'm a healthy eater, I drink plenty fluids & exercise. I'm not sure what to do anymore and neither are the doctors. I've also had a cystoscopy and they found nothing. I can't seem to live a normal life without discomfort in my bladder, burning and nipping and constantly needing to pee.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Are you using perfumed shower gels or bubblebath? After repeated UTIs, my GP advised me not to use anything perfumed to wash down there as the irritation they can cause can trigger UTIs. I wash underwear in non biological detergent and don't add fabric softener. I also stopped using panty liners as these can also cause irritation if you are sensitive. I also sit in a warm bath every evening.....just water, no soap. I use "Water Wipes" to clean after using the loo ... again as they are 99% pure water with no additives. It has been trial and error, with some mistakes along the way, but I eventually managed 9 months without a reoccurrence. I feel for you as it is so draining going through this.
