    Wow this clip is so informative, the more I learn the more I feel there will be no Dr here in Australia that will be able to address my suffering just like most people here I have been enduring never ending bouts of pain, inflammation, urgency with no resolution to my problem except courses of antibiotics and lots of candida as a result. A cystoscopy of my bladder showed damage to my bladder wall already but Urologists here don't accept there is such a thing as embedded bacteria, they only trust the results of the outdated urine culture tests which usually shows negative, it is disgusting that this severe problem that affects so many of us it being ignored by the medical profession here in OZ. A couple of times because they ignored my symptoms and gave me nothing for it I ended up in hospital with the infection already in the kidneys. I am really exhausted and have lost hope, I wish I lived in the US where the mentality of some doctors is far more advanced. Thank you for posting this amazing interview.

    I was just diagnosed with a vesicvaginal fistula that has been contributing to my recurring UTI after having a hysterectomy. An entire of this being either missed or not explored. Thank God for Urologists!

    I have had a chronic uti for 18 years and I'm fed of clueless urologists and being fobbed of I don't know why chronic utis don't seem to be taken seriously when they should be this condition has killed my life and I don't know if I will be pain free ever again it's horrible being in deep agonising pain everyday for 18 years it's horrific very hard in the uk to get treatment and be taken seriously in the uk

    It didn't matter how many times I told the doctors it wasn't IC and that i still had an uti they wouldn't and didn't treat it . Until years later when I became antibiotic resistance to most antibiotics
    Very sad that this happens :(

    Powdered D-mannose (2g or more per day), Serrapeptase (loosen biofilms). Also consider Ayurvedic treatments such as Utracon. Got rid of my chronic 3 yr UTI gently == no antibiotics. The urology field is making mountains out of molehills, unfortunately.

      I've tried D-mannose, Vitamin C, and probiotics and nothing works. I've not heard of serrapeptase and Utracon is not in the US (that I can find.). I need something to help. I have 3 or 4 a year and am getting antibiotic-resistant.

    I wish I could find a good urologist Im upstate New York. This is exactly what has happened to me and its a fight to get pcr/ngs testing . I also get urethral strictures its awful.
