  • Hello Pipster

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with recurrent UTI's. I can imagine that it's quite difficult and frustrating at times. 

    You don't mention in your post if you've ever been referred to see a Urologist or had any investigations beyond the standard tests your GP might request. If not then it would be worth speaking to your GP about your concerns and asking for a referral. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call. I'm sure they will be able to offer some advice and support. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5on on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
