Utis

I went uro doc for a follow up because I have frequent utis and urgency to urinate and actually I felt ok. She started me on myrbetriq and guess what, my urgency started again. Also, I have read it can cause utis and one of my main complaints is chronic utis. The side effects of this medicine can cause you have the problems this medicine is suppose to remedy. Explain that.

Hi Kathy,

There are lots of prescription drugs that cause the same problems as the ones they are supposed to treat. It's pretty ridiculous! Have you ever tried any natural/homeopathic remedies? I've heard that coconut milk, coconut water, and cranberry juice can be really effective. I deal with a condition called interstitial cystitis which causes an urgency to urinate and all sorts of wonderful related issues. I find the best treatment is to make sure that I am STRESS FREE. I also avoid caffeine and sugar. There is also a supplement called D-Mannose that is beneficial for frequent UTI's as well as the condition I have. I hope that you'll try some of these alternatives and post back with your results! Good luck. :)

Up until about 18 months ago I had been experiencing chronic UTIs--one right after the other. I started taking 10,000 - 20,000 IUs a day of Vitamin D-3, and rarely have them now. Has made a huge difference.
