- In this video I talk about how I manage my bladder and prevent UTIs. I’ve had some experience in this, and did a lot of research to come up with my ideas that I use, so why not do a video to save you the time?!
Thanks to Jaydeep Chowdhry for the video suggestion
Thanks for your help I'm new to long term cathertization. Your a real help. I have no feeling in my blader currently waiting on numerous tests after a accident at work in 2023. I'm sure you will no what I mean. Take care.
Thank you Sir
Yes you spell my name Right :)
Thanks for the video. I'll be looking at your other ones also. I'm curious about something, if you don't mind me asking: Have you had your bladder botoxed? I ask because you mention that you catheterise and also use sheath drainage at night. Thanks.
Hi, nope; no botox for me. I don't have bladder spasms at all which is what the botox is meant to help prevent. I catheterise to empty and wear a sheath at night with night bag so I don't have to keep waking up to catheterise
Hi. Ok, I see. That's the same as me then. Except I don't catheterise as many times through the day. I wear sheath and bag through the day too. Boy, you must have your 'timing' down to a T to avoid accidents! Anyway, thanks again for sharing.
What do you do for you're nightly routing I'm sorry I didn't hear it right I'm having lots of problems waking up to my cath alarms
very informative presentation Sam.. You should be in a mentorship program ...I give you a BIG thumbs up Sam :)
You can buy D-mannose powder at the health food store and put it into your water bottle for the day. You cant take to much your body just passes it through. I take it 3-6 times a day.
I use the same D-mannose,definitely helps us with SCI’s not have the issues with UTI’S great to see someone from the UK doing videos for us too....👍🏾
I have not heard of this. Is there any information I can read on it? I may research and try it so I can make a review
Cinnamon tea ☕️ in the empty stomach with honey , lemon , helps a lot to kill those urine bacterias and keeps it clean ...
Hi I stopped by from Gina's to visit you're channel. I hit all the buttons and bell I hope you do too Tyfs ❤ I'm Looking forward to seeing more videos!! Have a wonderful day much love to you 🥰
I have struggled so much with uti became sepsis twice is was horrible. At the end of your video you mentioned you don’t think catheters cause the ecoli enfection?
I’ve had a recent nightmare with recurrent E. coli UTIs but have actually managed to find a way to treat and prevent them using D Mannose and high strength cranberry tablets. I will do a video very soon on it as I’m so pleased to have found a way to stop them without constant antibiotics. E. coli lives in our bodies and as I’ve always had these infections, and nothing else, I don’t believe using a catheter has introduced the infection into my bladder. I also use catheters that don’t require any touching of the part that goes in, so again I don’t think catheters themselves are to blame, but more the predisposition to infection caused by spinal injury. That’s my theory anyway
Thanks for sharing! New family here!!
some people will use cranberry juice or the tabs....is that a good thing for you ?
They’re not something I’ve used before personally, but I’ve heard they can make a difference. I know that D-Mannose does the trick for me so that’s what I keep taking
old saying .....If it works .....keep doing it..............thanks Sam
In highly recommend cranberry tablets twice a day.
I'm seriously considering doing research for a day and comparing studies on all the things talked about in comment sections and online forums on this topic. I will present my findings in a video when I get to it
