Hello
My partner has had a few urinal tract infections following bladder removal surgery several weeks ago. Has anyone else had this experience? He's on antibiotics and has returned to hospital a few times, as an out and inpatient.
He is very careful with his stoma, and hygiene, changing it every 2 days, bathing every day with the special antibacterial shower gel provided by the hospital.
He had a drain fitted as there appears to be an accumulation of fluid in the cavity near where his bladder would have been. We're awaiting another CT scan, follow up.
The repeat infections are making it difficult to get on with life, in the way that we need to following radical surgery, to come to terms with everything. He has adapted so well otherwise, walking about fairly soon after surgery, regaining his appetite, etc.
