Hi everyone,
just noticed yet another potential side effect of Anastrozole which are bladder problems. I get stress urgency and discomfort any answers much appreciated.
Take care xx
I've used d-mannose for years as I used to be prone to UTIs and also had painful bladder syndrome, which meant I could barely go half an hour without feeling a desperate need to go.
D-mannose sorted out the uti issue very quickly and definitely eased the urgent need to go.
I got through chemo without any UTIs at all, and weirdly the water retention from docetaxel seems to have sorted my painful bladder issue! I take d-mannose every day and have no issues at all any more, and I went into a medical menopause too and menopause can make you more prone to UTIs too.
Would definitely recommend for what you are describing.
