I was wondering if you’d be able to help me too..I literally get a uti every 3weeks now and it’s started about 3years ago when I started the depo shot..About 4days ago I was on a 4day course to clear the infection it went for a day and now it’s back again, These infections are literally ruining my life.Im scared to have sex with my partner,I’m scared to even go to the toilet I drink cranberry juice&water all the time now everyday, Iv got a job interview tomo that could literally change my future but don’t want to go because I feel so uncomfortable all the time and extremely irritated I actually can’t cope anymore it’s ruining my life! But The depo shot is the only contraceptive that agrees with me I always have some sort of reaction to others😞😞I need help!
Hi Amber
I take hiprex 1g twice a day for kidney infections. Please note that I have a urostomy and no bladder but your GP will know if hiprex is right for you
Mine was cured 3 years ago by Methenamine Hippurate (= HIPREX) which I get on prescription. I still take it daily, partly because I have to self - catheterise (caused by a separate condition, not by UTI). In the past, only a very high dose of certain strong antibiotics taken for FOURTEEN days, NOT 4, would quell the infection, but eventually it sneaked back. D-Mannose & cranberry did nothing for me; a recent article in "New Scientist" in fact claims that cranberry juice doesn't work anyway. A few people are not suitable for Hiprex : those with kidney disease for example --- but look it up on Wikipedia & hopefully give it a try. It's so easy : you swallow 1 little tablet twice daily, and it has no side effects. For me it has been life-changing. Good Luck.
