I had urine infections every month from Jan to August last year, i even had to go to hospital for a few hours to have iv antibiotics and fluids. Then kidney scans. Very scary. Its important that you have correct antibiotic for your infections. I have been clear of them since August by drinking 1.5 - 2 litres of water everyday and i used sanitiser and wipes to use on the toilet pan before sitting on it. Hope this helps. Take care

has your GP testing your folate and B12 levels - Both B12 and folate deficiency can lead to a whole host of symptoms that include anxiety and susceptibility to infections - particulary urinary infections.

Folate deficiency tends to develop quickly.

B12 deficiency can take years or even decades.

B12 is only found in animal products so if you are a vegan or eat little by way of meat/dairy/fish/egg then a dietary deficiency will gradually occur but there are many non-dietary causes. You can find out more about B12 absorption problems on this forum
