I suffered from UTIs for 37 years had at least 7 a year. I was on antibiotics all those years. She discussed Methenamine/Hiprex & Vitamin C this changed my life. I researched further. The Methenamine and the high dose of Vitamin C/probiotics made the difference. I had seen countless specialists over the years and they never mentioned this. I asked my most recent urologist about it and she was willing to write it. It's the answer to solve UTIs along with some of the other obvious things. I give the Methenamine/Hiprex the full credit.

Wish all docs were like this one! Self empowerment is rarely taught in a doctors office.

As someone who is finally trying to figure out why I have recurrent UTIs - I feel empowered by your presentation! Thank you so much.

I like her, she’s so positive, funny and yet very knowledgeable on the matter, she talks with authority that doesn’t frighten. She’s simply amazing!

Greetings! I think you are the absolute bomb!! My wife and I are 52 and she is my passion! Your advice has helped so much and I so appreciate your advice and info here on youtube! God bless you!

I am so grateful for Dr. Casperson!!! I can't express how incredibly informative her videos are and how much I've learned from the content she's shared. Women's health education is so important and I've become passionate about it. Thank you!

This video is a blessing thank you so much this gives me so much insight as a person who struggles with a verity of women’s issues. I really can’t wait to see my urogyno on the 12th I feel like I’m going to cry of happiness walking in there finally after years of dealing with this.

This is super helpful. I don’t have reoccurring UTI’s but just finished antibiotics for an abscess. And I got waxed amongst other things. For vitamin c, I took 3oz of fresh acerola juice and a 16oz bottle of kombucha. The next morning I felt closer to normal. I wish more doctors were this transparent and easy to understand. Thank you 💕💕💕

This was extremely helpful, and I love her sense humour.

Thanks so much, Dr. Casperson, for this lecture. So informative.

I have recurrent UTI's and I am NOT dehydrated. I drink constantly all day long. The first sign I usually get of a UTI is a strong odor which evolves into burning soon after on urinating, constant feeling I have to go, and a heavy sensation in the pelvis.

Great video and very informative!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Great to be able to extra educate yourself on the matter from home.

Your information is Great keep up the Good thank God for you guys .

What an adorable personality ! Thank you for the valuable info from a woman doctor !.

This is excellent!!! Great talk.

You a wicked good Doctor and I bet person too.

Thank you--this is life-changing information.

I appreciate your humor what you taught me now I can go neurologist and a more informed and a better way of talking to him

I had 10 UTIs in the last 1.5 years, probably caused by chronic constipation. E.coli culture showed a couple of times, and I got BV (also E.coli) and yeast infections when I wasn’t on antibiotics. After developing a very meticulous washing routine after sex, I saw my symptoms change over the course of the year and got less painful. I was able to manage it with D mannose, probiotics, and now I believe I need to lay off the alcohol as well as reduce flour intake to feel even better. The pooping on a consistent basis is a great reminder! I also drink lemon water and urine alkalinizers from Uqora. I avoid antibiotics like the plague, just because the pain isn’t so great anymore.

I like the way this Doctor minimizes the problem of recurrent UTIs and jokes about sending them out for useless procedures. She is indicative of the problem that women are having with uncaring care givers.

Very helpful, I loved it.

Very informative, thank you!!

Awesome to listen to this and see if I can get rid of chronic uti

Very, Very helpful information, thank you! Great sense of humor :))

Brilliant! Thanks so much, hope this information helps 👌

Hello 👋 do you recommend any Crems of any Brend over the counter 🤔 Plessis thank you 😊🙏👍👍

Thanks for the great information I am not a part of the medical community I had my 1st uti evrrrrrrr! Ohhhhhh the pain 💔😢 I love yr humor and explanations I absolutely increased my water after yr video I will add vitamin c hopefully this will be my last uti horror story 😊u

This has to be why I have CONSTANT UTI!!! I have aggressive MS and only poop every 8-11 days. 😞😭 I’ll be coming back to this video after I drop my daughter off to school to finish the rest.

What drug did she recommend at 17:27? Sentinal?

what if my blood test will shows high ostrogen? should i replace with progesteron cream instead? i dont know what to use because i have insuline resistance and hormonal problams, but i also has UTI issues for 1,5 year 😢

i have reoccurring kidney stones- what supplements should I take to help with the infections that go with that problem.

Thank you for this information!! I’m not a urologist, but I really feel like I can head into the doctor more educated and ask about several options.

Thankyou. Great information x

Can someone tell me what she says ‘ C vitamin together with methamine?’ Is it correct?

That was interesting, thank you, more information than anywhere else. What about Andrews liver salts?

Thank you!!

Have used Mandelamine for over 60 years except when the company stopped making it, then switched to Methinamine Hipp. No negative results except for me forgetting to take it.

Thank you very much for the great information. I have a question. Can i use vaginal estrogen as a prevention for my chronic uti if i try to get pregnent?

What an amazing urologist. And I found simple things to try, because my microbiome wishes me to avoid antibiotics! So, lots of water, vitamin C, perhaps vaginal estrogen, and then I'll see how things go. Thank you so much. Update: my infection eventually got worse and I was becoming alarmed. I eventually asked my doctor if I could try nitrofurantoin, an older antibiotic that works primarily in the bladder, and has minimal effects on the gut microbiome. And it worked!! Such a relief. And my gut seemed unaffected. Apparently it's prescribed less often because you have to take it twice a day for up to a week. But it's well worth it for me

I’m so sick of having UTIs like every month. After back surgery I have to self cath and that makes me more prone to them.

Love it!

Please give a lecture on group b strep for uti's.

What does streptococcus has to do with uti-s? I always get the bacteria on my labs but I guess am so adjusted to have it that I do not fwel it anymore.I.mean is bothersome but meh...nothing helps. But that streptococcus results wow me...like...how did it get there? Your video is very informative, thank you so much!!!

Excellent presentation for a 64 year old female retired nurse with chronic infections every 3 weeks (basically as the bacteria build up from antibiotics). I do all of the proactive strategies but I have a triple pelvic floor prolaps with urethral opening stretched wide and internal tissue exposed. I weigh 112lbs and always do jegal exercises. I get about 3 hours relief from sodium citrate but you can only use it for 2 days at a time. WHAT if anything can I do until covid allows for prolapse surgery? I would love for you to have made it more informative on the menopausal woman. Perhaps a second video? I use estrodial pil l in the vagina twice a week. No use. 😰 The vulval pain and bladder ache is miserable. The freezing and sweating is miserable. The relief after a 7 day course of antibiotics is sooooo lovely. Thanks

Love this video !!! All of a sudden I’m getting these UTI’s!!! Blood clots in my pee…. I don’t want to Keep taking antibiotics…

I have crohns disease and do not like to take antibiotics. I watched this video for some tips on how to deal with reoccurring uti's. I started using the D-mannos powder form. 1 tsp (2000mg) 2 times per day. It took care of my bladder infection in 2 days. Relief 8 hours after the first dose. If you have to you may use it as a maintenance dose as well. I also drank lots of water to flush out the bacteria. It is definitely worth a try.

How to get rid of proteus mirabilis for good??

Thank you soooo much!!

I want to be empowered with knowledge! I love when doctors give me knowledge! I have reoccurring UTIs and I enjoyed this video. I don't want to take antibiotics because I work so hard on having a healthy gut! My questions are: 1. Is the bladder supposed to be an acidic organ or alkaline? 2. Is having UTI issues during ovulation give me a clue that my estrogen levels are bouncing too high? So do I see an urologist or my gyno? 3. How often is medication the issue to occurring UTIs? (I have RRMS and take Vumerity). 4. Is low bile function possibly linked as well? And I ask because you did talk about poop a bit. Low bile can cause a fattier, greasy stool.

Methenamine (Cystex) is over-the-counter...FYI.

I have had reoccurring for about a year I am now on 6 th one. Comes on quickly in one day. It gos from I think I might have a UTI to oh my gosh the pain is unbearable. I get horrible shoulder pain when I urinate to the point I look like I’m hugging myself when I pee it hurts so bad. Is something els wrong my Dr has no clue about the shoulder pain.

I am suffering from this now. It is bad. I can't take antibiotics because I get sick from it. My doctor prescribed Zinnat 250mg now.

Yep she is the smartest person in the room.

Great

Do you recommend D Mannose?

About time it makes sense. I’m 62 years old and have a UTI for 2 months already, they gave me antibiotics, and they don’t work, I made an appointment with my doctor again to let him know is has not gone away. I’m tired of the itching and burning, can’t have sex cause it hurts so much, I wish this Doctor could be my doctor! Please advice me on what to do

If I would have had the cystocopy when the doctor suggested it 14 years ago, I wouldn't have ended up with cancer of the bladder today.

Can someone help me understand her statement at 16:00? The quickest kind of return from resistance is.... What?

What about pseudomonas bacteria in bladder? I have been plagued with UTIs and diagnosed with interstitial cystitis ! No relief to date! Any suggestions ? Believe me after three years have tried everything‼️😪

I freaking love her wish she was my doc

Really great video, explains so much. Dr’s never check the area, just ask for a urine sample. Now I’ve got the mirror out pretty sure what’s causing my urethritis. I’ve already got estriol cream but never told to use it there. Fingers crossed 🤞 it resolved this recurring irritation. Already feels a bit easier.

Question : What brand of vitamin C ? And how many mg

Is there a difference between “recurrent” UTI and simply an under treated UTI? I’ve been given 3 days of antibiotic with no follow up culture, but I am old enough to remember when the doctor always had you come back and the dose was for 7 days. What about embedded or continuous UTI? Should some people be on antibiotics for a year or more?

Wait at the end she says it’s not a uti when in that abdominals region?

I self Cath I have tethered cord syndrome. I drink constantly. They put me on keflex it helps but the iti comes back so much worse like you said. I use d-mannose it worked then stopped. So this helped. But nothing is working so far. I also have a bidet. Clearing the hair helps no wax. But I’m concerned of c-diff. I will die if I don’t cath because I’m losing my kidneys blocking. I have to cath. I was giving estrogen cream but got an infection using it. Blood in my Irvine kidney infections one after another. I need help. No pain in the area. Smell and puss. I need stress free.

interesting thank you x

Awesome! Now I know what to talk to my Dr. about. This is great information! I've had bladder surgery with a sling and had problems ever since. Also going to try estrogen cream. I learned so much!

My mothers uti was cured by evanol cream which is s female hormonal cream. She had taken oral antibiotics and well as antibiotic injection courses but the infection would return after a week or two. Ultimately the infection was cured by just a few applications of this cream.

You are very smart and knowledgeable. This video is extremely helpful ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! It's hard to get education on this stuff in Canada.

I was given antibiotics and just leukocytes were found in urine test but they are working so it must be a UTI. I’ve struggled the last year with pain burning pressure and frequency after a severe UTI. It’s hell

Very good information

I really love this video. I have had a problem with UtI since childhood. My first was at 10 and I wasn’t even having sex. It got way worst after I started to have sex and by the way I’m very clean. I always pee and completely clean myself front to back before sex and even after just pooping. Now I’m 35. I’ve had kidney cancer at 27. It was removed by partial nephrectomy in NyC. I stopped getting frequent UTI after. My UtI issue is now back at 35 after years of it not being an issue. I’m worried it might be cancer again since I have blood in my urine.

Im a male who got uti that lasted on and off 1 month. I was taking biologic humira for mild psoriasis. It wasn't worth the side effect. I quit humira and will probably as a male, never have another uti

For UTI try drinking cranberry juice frrom concentrate with low sugar.

Great lecture. I came here for my annoying uti that won’t go away even with antibiotics. I’m pre menaupausal and some of the points you’ve made are resonating. Thanks for the great info. Btw, I wish I had you as a teacher 👩‍🏫😆

Thank you for the information

WHENEVER I TAKE MACROBID I GET RECURRENT UTI 2 WEEKS LATER AND I HAD NO IDEA ANYONE HAD THAT HAPPEN!! THANK YOU

Hello Dr.. how many days after vaginal yeast infection treatment can one start vaginal estrogen cream treatment for recurrent uti infection treatment.

Ive heard you can use colloidal Silver to treat UIT? Going to do some research on it .

We need a vaccine to put an end to this horrible condition,I have uti for the past 40 years a d there is nothing I don't know to try an prevent it so for people like me please will the medicial researchers please take this condition very seriously and work on finding a vaccine

I'm male and I've had two UTIs in six months. The first was pretty obvious why I got it as I had just had a catheter after ESWL with stent placement. The second I have no idea how it happened, but UA came back positive for UTI and negative for STDs.

I am postmenopausal at 73 years old. My recurrent UTI cultures show Klebsiella for the last 2 years. Am I not getting cured with Cephalexin?

Thanks for the info.I will talk to someone about the vaginal estrogen, maybe it will help!

What about biofilms when cultures come back negative but they are symptomatic? This is my issue now for the past month+

I use to have recurrent uti but haven't had one in two years. I stopped taking antibiotics. I bought Nature's way Urinary and kidney bladder dietary supplement then I bought Azo cranberry caplets. I also use vagisil and summers eve wash.

I have heard the opposite-that hair down there attracts the bugs and no hair is better. Please comment ??

The allergist in me wants more recognition

THANK YOU for mentioning C-Diff. Antibiotics should not be prescribed at the rate they are!

Which brand of cranberry supplement does she recommend?

Can someone tell me if veganism helps UTIs? I have not finished hearing the tape yet. Thanks for this.
