Is anyone constantly getting staphylococcus aureus urine infections after a glansectomy with skin graft reconstruction.
Staphylococcus aureus is an infection that lives on your skin and it is rare to get this infection in your bladder.
I am wondering if the skin graft is giving me the infections and would like to know if anyone else is having this issue.
My consultant is not sure what the cause is yet as I also have a bladder retention issue and self catheterising daily.
Hi Turninia
I'm sorry to read about the constant infections that you're getting and I hope your consultant can sort out the cause soon.
I'm not a member of this group but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
