Re-occurring UTI's, after resection.

Hi all.

I wondered if anyone else has re-occurring UTI's since undergoing a resection for colon cancer.

I had my resection in November 2023. Since June last year, I've had constant UTI's. Each time I visit my GP it's another course of anti-biotics, they don't work, I have another appointment with my GP this afternoon, it's every 3 weeks now, and I'm getting a depressed about it.

I would appreciate any feedback.  Thank you.

  • Hi  I’ve no experience of this and hope your doctor was able to help. My ‘not very helpful reply’ will bump this back up the board so hopefully someone with some experience might reply?

    Take care

    I'm under the GP, Consultant and Bladder clinic, antibiotic, after antibiotic, nothing works.  They are trying me out on a 3 month course now of some sort of preventative tablet, it's getting ridiculous and has been going on constantly since June of last year.   x
