Reoccuring water infections
Posted: Mon May 28, 2012 10:23 am
First of all Hi, I am new to this site. My name is Michaela I am 25years old and live in Newcastle UK.
I have suffered from reoccuring water infections ever since I was 16, I have been in and out of hospital and have a file on UTI. kidney infections and so fourth, my file from this is about the size of a file that you would put college work inside of and is full to the brim.
I have had cystoscopy tests/ x-rays MRI scans and Ultra sounds. However each time nothing is ever found I do have 2 cysts in my left kidney but the hospital believe that my reoccuring UTI and the cysts have nothing in common. It's affecting my day to day life as I feel very incontenent when I do have water infections and have woken up to my bed being soaked on several occassions.
Above all the hosptial keep telling me there is no explanation for why I suffer this badly from UTI, I am giving codeine for the pain and they work to an extent. But I don't want to take these constantly I just want to know what the cause is.
Has anyone suffered like this with no explanation and how do you cope with such a thing?
