Recurrent UTI

[HE12]

Just wondering if having endo on your bladder can cause UTI's? I haven't been diagnosed with endo but I do have an endometrioma behind my right ovary. Has anyone who has endo on the bladder suffered from UTI's?

Thanks for replying. My gp has referred me for an ultrasound on my kidneys and bladder to make sure there aren't any blockages.

Hi Refrequent,

Please be cautious about recommending herbal medicines and I would always advise that one speaks to a professional.

As the NHS website states:

Herbal medicines are those with active ingredients made from plant parts, such as leaves, roots or flowers. But being "natural" doesn't necessarily mean they're safe for you to take.

Just like conventional medicines, herbal medicines will have an effect on the body, and can be potentially harmful if not used correctly.

They should therefore be used with the same care and respect as conventional medicines.

If you're consulting your doctor or pharmacist about health matters, or are about to undergo surgery, always tell them about any herbal medicines you're taking.
