80% of urine infections are caused by one thing

Urine infections are incredibly common.
So common that more than one of my patients asked me to do a video on this topic!
Anyone can get urine infections but they're most common in women with most women experiencing one in their lifetime.
The symptoms of a urinary infection (or UTI) are usually pretty obvious - peeing more than usual and with "urgency", burning and stinging when you pee and sometimes tummy pain or blood in the urine.
There are a few things that increase the risk of UTIs, like pregnancy, menopause and diabetes but either way, they're usually straightforward to spot and can be managed remotely most of the time.
Some UTIs improve with time and no treatment other than water and rest but most need antibiotics as bacteria is the usual culprit. Other over the counter treatments and home remedies are not evidence based (ie there is not enough evidence to definitely recommend them) but most are safe to try if you want to give it a go.
UTIs improve quickly but if you notice that it doesnt, or you have new symptoms or feel unwell with the urinary symptoms, you need to see your doctor.

    Although my mom at 86 years of age had sharp, normal mental capacity-no signs of forgetfulness-dementia-etc, she suddenly one day started acting confused, irrational, and bewildered. The doctors told me that this is the beginning of her mental decline-but it was an experienced, sharp nurse who told me to insist that I have the doctors check for a urinary tract infection. At first, I thought “what does that have to do with her mental decline?”, but she explained that urinary tract infections in the elderly will cause them to suddenly act like the way my mom was acting. She turned out to be absolutely correct. She had a serious urinary tract infection. Once they gave her the antibiotics, she returned to herself again. It made me wonder how many other elderly people were misdiagnosed as early onset of dementia when in actuality he/she had a serious urinary tract infection.

    Happened to my mother too after her KN replacement.....Hosp staff did not pick it up they kept on writing dementia on her notes ....I removed her from hosp & took her to her GP who trained in the UK . Asked her to prescribe Macrodantin she agreed as she said it was prescribed for many elderly & those in nursing homes in the UK ....After first course of meds my mother was a new person she was then prescribed a low dose each day until she passed 5 yrs later 🇦🇺 .

    This is an amazing story! Thank you for sharing your mom’s experience. It seems that common infections such as UTIs should always be ruled out when someone 75+, 85+, and into their 90s, is doing and functioning well and is suddenly confused and irrational. To just pronounce someone as having dementia is either a negligent doctor or one who is not properly trained.

    I had recurring UTI symptoms which sent me to the off hour clinic more than once. Oddly, no bacteria was found in the culture. After watching many masterclasses online I decided to do a parasite cleanse. After 30 days on a capsule which has mimosa pudica as well as the usual antiparasitic herbs I noticed that I had urinated out some small odd curved items that looked out of place. They were big enough to see and not microscopic. That was 2 years ago and I have not had any urgency, pain, or uncontrollable releases. There are very healthy parasite cleanse protocols out there that are quite inexpensive (less than the copay for dr visit).

    My sister developed a uti on vacation and didn't have it taken care of at the time. Her bladder stretched, lost the elasticity of it. She was left with a bladder that would fill up and she could only urinate about an ounce at a time. She had to relieve herself every 15 minutes. Nothing could be done for her. She was in constant pain. She lived 6 years like this.

    I nearly died from having sepsis, twice, due to kidney infections. Antibiotics prescribed by doctor's, we're not helping, and actually making things worse. I started on cranberry supplements, with probiotics, and added apple cider vinegar and oregano oil. i haven t been in the hospital for nearly a year, now. If i had just continued to go to the doctor's, and not started on the cranberry supplements and oregano oil, I believe I very possibly, would be dead, by now. Oregano oil , kills e coli, and the cranberry keeps the E coli, from attatching, to the bladder walls. You must keep the oregano oil dosage very low, and only take it occasionally, for no more than a week to 10 dqys, at a time, as it is damaging in high dosages. For proper dosing, do your own research, on-line.

    Very surprised that you did not mention the use of D-mannose . There are now good studies demonstrating its effectiveness (but only for E-coli). My older mom takes 2g every day and it works. Before she used to get UTIs almost every month, now it is exceptional. People that have these as recurring infections should be notified of the existence of this product. It is also effective in case of infection but the dose is much stronger (2g 3 times a day). It is just as effective as antibiotics without the problems.

I have a long arm attached to my shower head and after wiping myself front to back I have a lower body short shower after a bowel motion - Pass urine after intercourse - Rebuild your immune system with probiotic and prebiotics - find Kefir and fermented food - take anti infective tablets Hiprex ( 2 daily ) avoid stress if possible learn to meditate - sleep enough . Cranberry jui but not the commercial variety - the one from chemist or healthfood store ... or the high potency tablets. Work on yourself learn to became more peaceful .

    I had surgery to remove a large sacral chordoma tumor from my sacrum and lumbar spine. Because of the tumor, I have lost control of several functions, one of which is passing urine. I was suffering a new UTI practically every month. While I was in the hospital to address an MSSA staph infection that was growing around my sizeable collection of titanium parts that were installed to keep my upper skeleton attached to my lower skeleton, my Plastic Surgeon / Oncologist discussed with me about me possibly getting a suprapubic catheter and ceasing the use of a catheter going through my urethra. I went ahead and had the procedure for the suprapubic catheter, and ever since that time (approximately 1 year) I have had zero UTIs to contend with. The suprapubic catheter is proving to be vastly superior in my case.

    Primary ignored "blood in urine" and patient's rights: four months ago I notified my primary physician I had extreme blood in my urine, he stated "peep track of it" . . he was out of the office that day with a doctor on-call and no office support. None reached out to me, infection was at the state of "sepsis shock" when I arrived at the emergency room, they did what all country medical teams do, traveled 1 1/2 hours from their facility to a "state of the art hospital specializing in sepsis patients." Spent four days, many tests with normal results. Added gift: yeast infection with anti-bionics took close to two weeks to clear up. This was my second UTI in my lifetime (81 years old) . . . healthy, no health issues . . . physical/blood tests once a year . . . of course I no longer see this primary since "patients rights were ignored" (in my attorney hands) I'm a RN still working - NYState-USA🌹

    I never had a UTI in 67 years but have had 5 in the lst 5 months. Coincidentally I also developed pericrditis, a pericardil effusion & have had very high levels of circulating spike protein antibodies for 2.5 years. Never (knowingly) had Covid, but I am now suspecting all these weird new symptoms are from the 3 unowhats I had. I wonder if whatever. The vaccines did to my immune system is common in other folks who are now getting frequent UTIs? The cause of my UTIs is always Klebsiella pneumoniae, which can cause sepsis if it gets into your blood stream.

    Are we still in the dark ages, when a doctor tells us to wipe front to back? Millions of women end up with a chronic embedded infection because they were not treated quickly enough or with a long enough course of antibiotics. Patients should be scribed based on symptoms, not any test. We have over 450 different bacteria in other bladder and any one of these could be causing symptoms. Just because e-coli for example shows up, it doesn't mean that's the one causing symptoms. Most are unknown, so would not be recognised. Maybe purchase Cystitis Unmasked by James Malone-Lee, he spent over 45 years researching embedded UTIs. Sadly he is no longer with us, but has a fantastic NHS team at the Whittingham as well as 10 Harley Street, that see patients who have ended up with an embedded uti, because they were not given a long enough, not high enough, course of antibiotics.

    I suffered with urinary problems for a long time eventually I had my bladder examined with a camera and it was fine so I carried on with the antibiotics when the attacks happened ,I then saw a Reflexologist when I was on holiday in Kenya , she told me I had Candida too much yeast in my body this is why I had thrush and cystitis all the time ,so I eliminated yeast from my diet and within 6 to 9 months I was better and since then my cystitis attacks have lessened.

Anyway I have gotten occasional UTI's and once the dr had given me a scrip and sent me home. Two-three days later I got a call from the dr's ofc. The nurse said to stop taking the med prescribed and the pharmacy would have a new one ready for me shortly. I asked her why, what was wrong with the first med. She said it was NOT killing the infection in the lab so I needed a new med. I was shocked and grateful to find out they actually did that! I'm sure nothing like that occurs these stressful days.😔 Too bad- those were good times. ✌♥️🙏🏻

    But you probably want to do both. The dipstick can identify a UTI in a minute. The culture takes a day or two. Urine is placed on and put in an ideal place for bacteria to grow. Little antibiotic dots are put on the surface. Bacteria will grow around the antibiotic or not. If the bacteria grows you have UTI. If it does not grow around one of the dots it means that is that antibiotic will cure your UTI. They may have a newer method.

There was also some nonsensical speech but it had stopped before the ambulance arrived. One thing I didn't mention they felt was related is I had been falling a lot and hitting my head, had several CAT scans. The full diagnosis was not seizure, not stroke. Probably accumulative mild concussions and UTI. About them not diagnosing, I am a medical lab tech. I had never heard special symptoms for older patients.

Sometimes they came on quick and other times slow. One time I had pretty intense lower abdominal pain and chills. Sometimes I had intense burning and sometimes not. It’s very frustrating and tiring. Lab results indicated E. coli each time. I have a an autoimmune condition and Stage 3 chronic kidney disease caused by Vasculitis (specifically GPA). My GP recently started me on HRT to see if it would help but I still ended up with another infection. I was also told to do kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor.

    I am an 80 year old male. I visited the dentist for 4 implant teeth. Because of the extensive gum and bone surgery the dentist prescribed steroids and antibiotics. The side effects of these two medications were so intense that I had to stop taking them gradually. However, my immune system reached a very low point and I ended up with UTI and in three days with sepsis. I became delirious lost all energy and joint stamina and developed low grade fever. I contacted my urologist who prescribe an antibiotic for seven days. It did not work. Then he prescribed another antibiotic and I started feeling better. At the onset, however, I had no symptoms. Urination was regular and no lower abdomen or back pain near the kidneys. Dr Sinan thank you (or shall I say Teşekkürler) for the wonderful presentation.

It took a long time to mentally recover completely I would say about 4-5 months I am still a little forgetful but otherwise ok now. I have since made a point of finding out more UTI.

    Thank you. I went to urgent care in January asking if I had a UTI, and doc said it must be just a yeast infection, or a bacterial vaginosis. I wasn't sexually active, so it would have been from something else. They finally diagnosed me in March, but by then it went to my kidneys. Then came almost three months of trying out antibiotics which: 1) didn't clear it, 2)maany made me very sick (extrene fatigue, iron issues, extreme leg pain within a day, nausea, etc). It finally got better in June,. Please make sure to advocate for yourself and demand tests in doubt, and repeeat them within a week or two if not better. Some doctors can be reckless, assuming , arrogantly, who you are as a person (downplaying symptoms), and rushing you out of the office so they can go home. Oh, the cause was e coli: I later remembered I had diarrhea in December. I forgot about it until e coli was seen on the test, and I was asked if I had anal sex - I had no sex at all in a while).

With both parents I was asked if I just wanted to put them in a hospital bed and they would be "medicated" until they died! No exageration!

It makes me sick the shoddy - or lack of - care, compassion and respect the elderly and disabled are given in this country.

    I had incontinence op 20yrs ago from then on I started getting urine infections. I was 50yrs old. I am 70 now in fact I had to hand sample in to clinic last week there was 2 bugs in it. I have to take antibiotics on a regular basis. Anyway a few years I was rushed to hospital I couldn't breathe. I was put on oxygen straight away. Next day a top lung Dr came to see me. He said I was a mystery patient & him and the anesthesiotist plus another couple were going to have meeting bout me. As it turned out inside my chest was badly scored & my lungs were filling up with fluid, I was in for 2wks & it happened year later. I had been on the nitrofuriton for 7yrs & wasn't once during that time. I found out later woman are only on them for 3mths & being monitored. Next was the other one u mentioned my body started fighting them, I could watch the hives coming up. Amoxocillin don't work anymore. Now I am put on different antibiotics every 3 months. My lungs are still not functioning 100%. My worry is that my body will eventually build up a defence to the one's I can take.

    Yes, Nitro long-term can cause lung damage. A type of allergic process attacks the lung tissue and can cause permanent non-functioning areas.

    Install a bidet seat, there are very basic ones that don't cost much and there are ultra fancy ones that do everything. I spent 3 months in Italy 3 years ago and had an actual separate bidet. I hate not having one. I'm renting so I haven't installed a seat so I actually get partly undressed and use the shower hose. I just can't go without a well cleansed back passage anymore.

    Currently, I have an uncle that was hospitalized for the 3rd time this year for a urinary infection. This time he did not bounce back to his old self. Mentally and verbally he was non-responsive and had to be eventually put on a feeding tube, I had to practically beg the doctors to do a Cat Scan with Contrast to find out what was going on with him. Lo and behold they found a growth on his kidney and are not sure what it is exactly. The doctors just took a needle biopsy of the fluid in it, and the results have not done back yet.

    I have always had UTIs after getting mesh fitted in my bladder. After a heart attack l was put on Entresto l had six UTI one after another it does say it causes UTIs. Couldn’t get an appointment with GP so paid £340 to see a cardiologist to charge medication. I am still getting UTIs and have kidney stones. I saw a urologist a few weeks ago but found over baring and would not let me talk the l gave up and walked out.

    For chronic UTI's your doctor should be doing NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING to find out what's really going on. Instead of a lifetime of oral antibiotics, maybe untravesicular antibiotics might be more effective.

    I’m incredibly clean yet I go through periods of having UTI’s. Sex is the biggest cause. Hormone changes another. Our bodies just house little pathogens which take the opportunity to take hold when our health is down, eg oerworked stressed etc. The wiping thing helps but isn’t the main cause, most women know this.

    Bacillus Subtillus is what Doctors used to prescribe for UTI, it's a fascinating bacteria, it sits in your blood sailing around looking for infection, when it finds infection it latches on and breeds up, it occurs in soil and is very deficient these days.
