I am in the throes of a bad UTI since yesterday. I attended the GP who found no infection Went for. I became more symptomatic and in great pain so went to the out of hours clinic who did find infection. I am under the hospital awaiting g an operation for a cystocele repair, but feel I can never empty my ladder very well. It’s like weeing glass! The urogynaost has also recommended a hysterectomy. Is this a good idea, I am I two minds about this.

Oh you poor thing, my heart goes out to you. I suffered UTIs which necessitated trips to A&E so I know how painful they can be. Have you had antibiotics in the meantime? I’m sorry I can’t advise on the operations suggested, I can just send sympathy. 💐

You poor thing - there was a time 2 years ago when I had one UTI after another.. awful 😩
Thank Heavens, and fingers crossed, I’ve seen the back of it. I take in a lot of liquids, water, tea, coffee, juice etc. I also restrict my use of pantiliners.

Yes the out of hours clinic gave me some antibiotics. The gp receptionist would not let me even see a doctor!
