That is just shocking @IPearce82 . You’re showing your true colours. Are you proud of yourself? Blocking people who are genuinely trying to seek answers is not a good look. @BAUSurology

NICE are reviewing the rUTI guideline, with a focus on methenamine. There seems to be disagreement on the Q of if hiprex is an antibiotic or not. Seems very important esp. for shared decision making?

Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed. It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long. (Location: Bournemouth Beach)

Best part is that these women know they have a UTI that has not cleared, yet get told no they have not got one based on "testing". Labelling them as: "there is nothing wrong and it is all in her head" is poor medicine. Men suffer too! High time we recognise CUTI sufferers!
Replying to @ChronicUTIAus
"They are suffering, they’re in enormous pain, enormous distress. In the worst cases, marriages and livelihoods have broken down. People are experiencing very serious physical problems, kidney failure, pregnancy loss. And this condition is completely treatable.”

3 days of antibiotics from pharmacists could lead to chronic UTIs, experts warn Short courses of antibiotics can eventually trigger a chronic infection in some people as it is not always enough to kill the bacteria @connie_dimsdale reports: trib.al/nySyo51
