Title: Huge failings testing for UTIs Dr Anderson & I video
Post by: Maryjane on July 14, 2020, 07:59:45 PM

Last week posted about a video I did with a GP all about local oestrogen & some myth debunking.

I mentioned I would be doing one about UTIs & was asked to share by a couple of ladies so hear it is.

Skip the first 5 mins, the reception does break up a few times but stick with it as so informative, & shocking at the same time.

Thanks Mary Jane, that was so informative.

I've had symptoms since an infection in November, which I had antibiotics for, but it's never really gone away. Latest results: blood and leukocytes, lab results say 'no infection'. But symptoms still there, constant discomfort and 13 trips to loo per day.  :-\

Will contact the clinic but bet they are so busy!!! Thanks again, Cherry SG x

Tried to get through on the phone, just getting answering machine today and yesterday.

I left a voice message and sent an email. Hopefully someone will get back to me soon as I'm a bit desperate for help  :-\

I'll bet! They did get back to me, I've been added to the September waiting list.

I'll keep everything crossed, but then I have to do that anyway.  ;D

You've provided such valuable advice, thanks again  :-*
