How to GET RID of Bladder Infections | Recurrent UTI

Wow. Great video. I asked a doctor how I had gotten a UTI. I wanted to find some way of prevention. He said, "Poor hygiene." Nice.

[@lifeissweet9826]

So taking a shower every day is it good enough.

[@HeleneLouise]

@@lifeissweet9826 I think it's like washing vegetables. How does one know if they were clean enough? Well, if you eat them and you don't get sick it was good enough. If you do get sick, it was not good enough. I guess I should have said, "Define poor hygiene," or something.

[@eri7-11]

Seconding iffahaidil. Try taking a small pinch of baking soda in water and see if that gives relief. If you're sodium sensitive take it with a pinch of potassium. You might need to rebuild the bladder lining, see if fresh raw cabbage juice helps (a 1/4 cup shredded green cabbage and 1/4 cup water and blend it and drink it). Can also add shredded green or red cabbage to salads or use lightly steamed cabbage to heal the lining over the next few months and avoid citrus and vinegar and whatever else may trigger it, until the bladder lining is healed. Maybe what happened was the diet wasn't good and the stomach lacked acid and H Pylori or some bacteria got in the bladder and made an ulcer. Some heal bladder with cabbage and then make sure you get enough acid like apple cider vinegar to help digest food and clean up the diet, less junk. Anyways that's a start to check out.

[@natalierichards4477]

Currently having the bladder problem including pain in the lower abdomen this channel really gives me lots of info on my symptoms ❤

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

Many infections if left untreated can spread and become much more serious problems. Infections can get into your bones and cause osteomyelitis or to your blood and cause sepsis, which can lead to septic shock. When you don't feel well, don't ignore that warning. You could be "sleeping through the smoke detector".

[@stumpythetarantula]

Urine results came back negative and doc basically told me it was in my head

[@salpine]

@@stumpythetarantula ​​⁠Ask for a retest and a culture. You can get a false negative fairly easily and if you’re plenty hydrated during the test it can wash out the bacteria enough to not pick up. I have a nasty evasive e.coli strain and because of false negatives and gaslighting, it has sat in my body for long periods and found hidden places. I absolutely believe it’s the cause of my freak lower back and pelvic pain flare ups. The pain also comes with not feeling well, for me it’s obviously more than muscular skeletal but they will try to tell you it is. If your pee smells or slightly burns and is cloudy, that is not normal. My male doc told me to simply drink more water and have a nice day after a few urine tests over the span of time he felt didn’t have enough white blood cells. Didn’t even bother to culture. Even though it had nitrites, which shouldn’t be in pee and comes from bacteria. I’ve been dismissed even in the middle of having a recurring uti with e.coli on culture for 6 months. Sometimes getting antibiotics is a struggle. All at the same hospital. Instead of relying on antibiotics, I’m making several lifestyle changes and if the infection is low grade I’m now trying nasturtium extract, uva ursi, lemon balm, and d- mannose. Need to increase my water as well. This e.coli induced pain is hard to deal with, it’s hard to exist at times. It’s like it’s pain in a space that is hard for even pain medicine to reach. Almost seems like it’s in my nerve, it’s gone to deeper levels for sure. I’m left to my own devices and the best thing was hemp CBD for the inflammation, CV Science brand. Advil too, so much Advil. Sugar is completely off limits as it feeds e. Coli and increases the inflammation. But the idea of it going into my bones doesn’t seem too far fetched I gotta say. Don’t let this go, be polite but be a squeaky wheel and don’t let them turn you away over one urine test. They come up falsely negative all the time, just look at this comment section. Sorry to go on but I hope any of this info is useful!

[@Alwizcaliteach]

D-Mannose! I can't believe she doesn't know about it. It's in the medical journals, finally. It works great. It's a left-handed sugar and sticks to the sides of the urethra. Check it out. 'm 63. I used to frequently get diagnosed with UTI, or yeast infection; given antibiotic IF UTI; sometimes a day or two later the doctor's office would call me to tell me that I did not have a UTI and to stop taking the med. ("BUT the med. made me feel better!") I was too shy to demand they figure out why I'm suffering so bad. I finally got to the point where I would suffer--even green discharge, sorry to be gross--and I wouldn't even go to the doctor because they would more than half the time tell me it was nothing. Finally I got smart and saw a urologist, where I was diagnosed with Irritable Bladder Syndrome; which FEELS like a UTI. "Almost everyone who has IBS (Irritable Bowel Disease) develops Irritable Bladder Disease.

[@san5987]

How do you take the D-MANNOS? How many and how often?

[@chellebelle1970]

did you use d mannose daily?

[@jcord0013]

In my case the tests came back negative for bacteria. However, the D-Mannose I was taking worked. The urologist refused to accept this and recommended surgery, so I dropped him. I use buchu extract as well as powdered D Mannose, which has done wonders. Not completely better since I have some anatomical abnormalities, but the discomfort is at a tolerable level, and no bleeding or discharge anymore.

At lunch I get 4oz of pure cranberry juice mixed with 8oz "Joint Juice", 1500 mg Glucosamine & 200mg Chondroitin Sulfate plus 8oz of water. That makes a 20 oz drink. May not drink all at lunch.

Here in the UK a doctor will not see you face to face but will fob you off with a telephone consultation in which he will invariably prescribe antibiotics. Last year I ended up being prescribed eight different antibiotics none of which worked. Even insisting on seeing a doctor face to face ended up with - guess what - a ninth prescription of useless antibiotics. Eventually I worked out that it was the metformin that was causing it. My blood sugars had come down to near normal but no doctor suggested I stopped taking it. So I stopped taking it and all the symptoms had gone within two days.

Now I'm on amoxicillin claV. I get so many UTI's I'm afraid I'm going to die of one. I drink tons of water. No spermicides or sex for that matter. I don't empty my bladder and my urologist never in all these years mentioned seeing a pelvic floor therapist. I use estradiol 3 times a week. I take a Theracran pill every day that costs $77 a bottle. I thought about seeing a pelvic floor person, but I watched videos on this subject and I'm so old I can't get on the floor. My knees, hips and ankles are shot. I'm so disgusted about the whole subject. Today I drank 2 big big glasses of ACV so far. In July I started Keto and I've omitted all sugar from my diet. In 2,000 I had a hysterectomy and now I have a cystocele. Since my hysterectomy I have hot flashes all day and all night.

Also, her Klebsiella pneumoniae is an ESBL (antibiotic resistant), so only a couple of IV antibiotics work. What's sad is she's been on Fosfomycin antibiotics every 10 days to prevent UTI's.

Hello, Thanks for the very informative video @Rena Malik, M.D. I have always gotten frequent UTI's for the past 20 some years. I've had so many tests but really have gotten no answers of why. Now, sometimes even the antibiotics I'm prescribed don't even help. It's really starting to affect my life. I'm looking for the cranberry tablets you've suggested in your video but it's very confusing. If I can find them that list the proanthocyanidins, it doesn't list the 36mg and I'm seeing varying doses. Is there a brand(s) that you would recommend? Thanks you so much!

Try ELLURA. My urologist suggested it. I've been taking it and I did have a UTI. Will continue though since I want to be as proactive as possible to cut down on these miserable UTIs.

Having an Over Active Bladder (OAB) can cause you to pee more frequently. This is caused by spicy foods and acidic fruits. The symptoms are very similar to a Urinary Tract Infection ( UTI).

[@thedingo8833]

What about just cutting out sugar? My mother is 84 and suffers from chronic reoccurring uti. She is also insulin dependent diabetic. She doesn’t over do the sugar but she does have her sweets and then compensates with insulin. Would it possibly stop the UTI’s if she cut out sugar all together? Has anyone here tried that?

I really appreciate you making this video I have gone to so many UTI appointments BEGGING them to help me crying in pain consistently buying azo and no one EVER gave me this information just gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way I saw a urologist/gyno and he didnt help me at all I felt like I was making a big deal out of nothing but I know its not because I always am waking up in pain with a uti more than 3x in a month so now that I know this im most definitely bringing this up thank you so much for making this video💝🥺

Hey, please share my comment with people that are struggling with recurring UTIs problems. I was in pain for 4 years, going to 30 different doctors that could not find a cause of my problem and painful bladder especially the day after intercourse. Doctors were trying to cure me with antibiotics. I was in massive pain for years until I found youtube video it was something about "how to release tension of the pelvic floor muscles". Pain is gone. Please share with people that struggle

Can you recommend a cranberry supplement? I’m a 63yr old post menopausal woman. Sex caused mine. My doctor is putting me on an antibiotic to take after sex. I really don’t want to be on an antibiotic that frequently(2-3x a week). I also use estrogen cream. Do you have any other suggestions?

[@gloriasaliba3395]

HRT will fix that

[@flash521]

Can you recommend a specific supplement?

[@amiwhite5514]

I get them often.. EVERY time it occurs just after sex that is rough/ too long in duration/too dry (just took a tampon out) .. This last time it happened, I actually asked my boyfriend to not have sex since I knew it would be dry (I’d had a tampon in all day) ... I’m about ready to be single forever- men are insensitive anyways :(

Talk to your doctor about this or see a urologist!

Thank you for telling me about the hygiene. I got 2 UTI within 5 months, and everyone around me is tell me is because I didn't shower much. I started taking shower every time after pooping and I'm so tired of it.

[@mcriero]

I’ll never understand why I get it. I always clean myself, I use baby wipes every time I go to the toilet, I always take a shower before and after sex, I pee after sex, and I always tell my partner to clean himself before sex, and I STILL get it. Last time I just got it out of the blue. I literally got it in my dream and I’m not even kidding. I was feeling pain during my dream and when I woke up I thought that was just a weird dream but nope turns out I had a uti again. And I tried everything to cure or prevent it, went to a lot of doctors tried a lot of medicine, been admitted to countless of hospitals, tried literally EVERYTHING you could think of and nothing works. It’s been going on for years now and I get it once or twice a month. Ugh

Hey love you should join the UTI support group on fb and hear other people’s stories- some recommend functional doctors to heal the gut instead of relying on antibiotics x good luck

[@mariacb174]

@@mcriero hi Bogi. From my experience, the SHAPE of your partner's penis can play a huge role in these episodes, especially if it is not "straight" and has some kind of "curvature" that makes your partner hit your bladder stronger during sex. As there is no solution for that, try other positions that make your bladder suffer less. Been there, done that.

[@claresequeira4043]

Excellent! Extremely helpful.Thank you.

[@aravinth007vt]

Try pomegranate. You should eat with the seed. Not as juice. One full fruit should be had by one person. Should be a sweet pomo not a hybrid. If the infection is very bad try having it twice a day. Else thrice a week should be good. When you take fruits as medicine like a cure, don't mix it with anything else. Have it half a hour before or after food/water to get full effect. Mix it well with saliva before swallowing. This has to be your new lifestyle for frequent infections. Please let me know your feedback if it worked 🙏. + Follow Dr. Rena Malik instructions 👍

Start drinking a cup of soy milk daily to raise your estrogen levels. Vanilla Silk Soy taste good. Also a couple of hours later drink a cup of organic cranberry juice. Drink plenty of water. Do kegel exercises. Wipe yourself after using the restroom front to back to avoid getting something in there. Put some antibacterial soap on the toilet paper. Some people said D-mannose helped them.

This Dr. has some great tips. My son is a Doctor and I’m always looking for the data to solve my post menopausal recurring UTIs. One Doctor stated a study that said the vast majority of UTIs are caused by EColi bacteria (Well over 80%.) He recommended washing the ‘bridge’ between the front and back really well (the perineum) - after a B.M. Recently I had three UTIs in two months, and now I have none with better hygiene, d-mannose powder and other supplements by the company U Quora. Cranberry juice without sugar also works well for me. Good luck to you all suffering with recurring UTIs - it’s SO miserable but there ARE answers out there. 👍 💕

Hey Dr. I was told I have H. pylori in my stool and E. Coli in my urinary tract and they want me to take Levofloxacin but that antibiotic causes liver failure. I never picked it up! I’ve also been having foamy urine for a year now but no protein was found in my urine culture. I also did an Kidney ultrasound and it was normal. Now They Want Me To Get Doxycycline Monohydrate but that’s for skin infections in which I don’t have. I have had terrible luck with doctors and I’m hesitant. What should I do? On Sunday I had burning sensation while urinating a minor blood but that went away on its own yesterday and pain on my right leg under my calf. I’m only 33 years old! What do you suggest I take? God bless you
