I was so foolish I believed only women could get UTIs and when my urologist asked me what I thought I had I told him I thought I had an IED. He eventually got me squared away. Good luck.

Hi Judy and Peggypierson
I use a patch to help with bladder problems. but I don't know if it would help with UTI. Over time it has helped hugely. I now hardly ever have to get up during the night for bathroom visits and there is not such a sense of urgency during the day. Hope you find something to help you soon. Ruth

Exactly, I am not on meds yet wonder if they help our problems. Sounds like meds are 60 plus years old n when they aren’t helping the patient Drs simply increase dosages. Well I am on bladder infection meds- with shot 1st. My aching shoulders and others are already less. So am thankful, with pure cranberry juice and proper med routine, just maybe this is a 1 time event . Let’s attempt to eliminate everything we know that is bad, weakening for us. And press on Sharon. Blessings,JNorton
