Help! Countless UTIs after laparoscopy.

[BethanyAnn]

Can anybody help me please? 😫

I have got another UTI! I’ve averaged one a month since my laparoscopy to diagnose Endometriosis in May.

I never had UTIs before my laparoscopy and now it seems like I permanently have them! They’re extremely painful and I end up rolling around in pain for hours with them!

Has anybody else experienced an unusual amount of UTIs with Endometriosis/after a laparoscopy?

Does anybody know how to get rid of the pain fast? I’ve tried cranberry tablets and Azo antibacterial tablets but they don’t work. I won’t be able to get antibiotics at this time and I don’t want to have to keep taking antibiotics so frequently.

Please help!

Does your GP send urine samples for analysis each time? It could be interstitial cystitis, symptoms are similar to UTI but it's a chronic inflammation of the inner lining of the bladder and cranberry juice just makes it worse!! I had the same for months on end it was hell, antibiotics did not work and my urine samples always came back negative. Eventually had cystoscope where IC was diagnosed, apparently very common if you also have endo.

Sorry that should have read cystoscopy.
