I completely understand your frustration. I am experiencing the same thing. I am taking Acalabrutinib and Venetoclax. My gynecologist finally referred me to a urologist, but the earliest appointment was in September! I wish I had a solution for you. I am trying to drink cranberry juice, and my gynecologist recommended taking D-Mannose. I’m so sorry you are going through this!!

thank you for response. I saw urologist and neurologist. And they did not find anything. I think this is side effects from pills

yes, dmannose. Also estrogen cream. Lots and lots of water. Make sure you are regular and if not, eat prunes and dried apricots. I had several utis a year before I saw a wonderful female urologist who recommended the above. I have had a couple of minor utis since and take one dose of an antibiotic if I feel it coming on. Not cipro though. Cipro stopped working for me. Important to drop off a urine sample at your drs office and make sure you know what type of bacteria is causing symptoms. Usually it’s ecoli but get it checked please.

for some people cranberry juice and irritated the lining of the bladder.

I had frequent UTI’s until taking DMannose 1300mgm with cranberry plus Cranberry Capsules with DMannose. The 2 of them kept me clear for 6 months and a recent UTI was stopped quickly with Macrobid. Can find these on Amazon.
