On Tuesday evening I lost bladder control, I was hurting tops my arms felt as if I had over done it climbing, plus felt confused. Called surgery Wednesday morning went to see clinician. Took a sample, explained everything to him,, used a dip strip almost lit the room up. I have never had a UTI. Iam on 3 day antibiotic course. Within 24 hours swelling in body gone down rings back on muscle pain reduction.
I had no common symptoms no burning no pain in that area, this infection could have been there for weeks. Anybody experienced in this , how do I guard against this gong forward I am 72

I’ve been prescribed Hiprex also. Not started yet as I’ve a UTI presently. Glad it worked for you. I’m hopeful of a good outcome with Hiprex.

I was also prescribed Hiprex after years of treating UTIs with antibiotics. The first course of Hiprex was for 6 months but the UTI's came back soon after stopping. I struggled with a return to antibiotics, which actually caused further, serious health problems. I was offered Hiprex again and supported it with D-Mannose tablets. After years of suffering miserable UTIs, I haven't had one for 2 years.

I was also told that if Hiprex stops helping, I could have further treatment (bladder instillation) or there is now a vaccine.

There is more help, so don't despair.
