Bladder Infections: To Treat or Not to Treat in Older Adults?

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I wish she were my doctor!! I just realized at 68, since I had to find a new doctor when mine suddenly retired, that I’d like a woman doc❣️🙏

The written summary is excellent.

[@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937]

As a former nurse, UTI in elderly dont present with dysuria, elevated temp or elevated pulse. They have decreased appetite, lower energy and increased agitation. AND, abx use doesnt increase resistance or C-diff. That is total BS. Jamie's approach delays treatment. This is not only incompetence, but it is cruel.

Do you think it’s ever ok to let a uti run it’s course in an elderly person, or should they seek help immediately

Yes, agree with you. When Drs put you through hell in delaying abiotic treatment because it's not showing up in a cup or you do not match all their criteria is delayed treatment which led me to ER in severe kidney infection which has now damaged my insides permanently and now chronic cystitis. They did that to my sister which led to uretur aggressive cancer and she lost her kidney. Over covid years one of the Charlies Angels gals died from sepsis from delayed treatment of uti. Doctors should apply that "benefits outweigh risk factor" in immediate treatment similar to what they told us about the vaccine and know that drs are graded on too many tests and abiotics they prescribe and receive bonuses for doing so.

Taking antibiotics means taking them for the rest of your life....doesn't necessarily solve problem. Tough problem in seniors! How much water are these patients drinking?

I had recurring UTI symptoms but no bacteria was ever found in the culture. After watching many masterclasses online I decided to do a parasite cleanse. After 30 days on a capsule which has mimosa pudica as well as the usual antiparasitic herbs I noticed that I had urinated out some small odd curved items (sharp on one end) that looked out of place. They were big enough to see and not microscopic. That was 2 years ago and I have not had any urgency, pain, or uncontrollable releases. I was even afraid my pelvic floor was damaged from giving birth to a baby over 11 lbs. There are very healthy parasite cleanse protocols out there that are quite inexpensive (less than the copay for dr visit).

I'm sorry, but this guest was not easy to understand. Some of the verbiage was unfamiliar, and at times she simply spoke too fast. I'm sure she is extremely knowledgeable, but not a great communicator.

[@sundancer7381]

I didn't realize prescribing antibiotics increased the risk of C-dif. C-dif - bad news! How many wind up in hospital with that??

Oh wow someone just deleted my question… whoever runs this channel doesn’t wanna be challenged
