Hi again luzdoh....I am blushing lol!. Don't know if you'll read this as i had stopped reading this thread. I do not know anything professionally, only what my own body has taught me. At one stage I was getting lots of water/bladder infections, couldn't get off loo and even resorted to lying in bath for hours. I would panic at work and dash home sick and one night paid £30 to get a cab home from a do as i got that awful i need to go feeling and didn't want to spend all night in loo. During one bout of antibiotics doc suggested lots of water to flush through the concentrated urine and dilute things. It seemed obvious but had never drunk much water so began the 2 litres a day and found, to my surprise i was going less not more and have since not had an infection. Added bonus has been better skin, less fatigue and no more aching joints. But took me all these years to figure out i was living in a state of dehydration, headaches stopped too. I really try to listen to my body now and try things. Silly me addicted to sugary food and recently developed diabetes 2. Totally cut out sugar, dieted and did some pilates and today surgery nurse told me i am back to normal, so well chuffed. Good luck to you and all ladies that have a problem. PS am told pelvic floor exercises are good and a contraption you can buy to insert and use muscles to pull upwards as if toward tummy. Hope you get to read this luzdoh. Oh and cut out or down on caffeine, especially after 1pm ish!
