Saw a Urologist last week for ongoing UTI's. My regular one was on vacation so saw a different female doc. I had a Cystoscopy done to check the bladder for stones etc. All looked great and no problems there.
She kind of read me out for takin antibiotics too often because of my urine getting so cloudy and mucky. She said according to the guidelines, anyone who intermittence catheterizes will be colonized and show a UTI on tests sent in. Only under certain circumstance should antibiotics be used. Pissed me of a bit, no pun intended, as she treated me like I knew nothing about how to determine when I knew I had an infection. I understand about colonization etc. but the silt in the catheter is unusual for me so was just checking things out.
She said I should be taking Vit. C in large doses to change the PH inside my bladder to minimize UTI's. It's been four days after finishing off a round of Macrobid and the catheter filled up with silt this morning. So I downed a couple of Vit. C totaling 2,000mg and poured in the water. Took another 1,000 later in the day.Things seemed to have cleared up, for now.
I don't want to overdo on Vit.C so what's considered too much Vit. C?
