The Bladder chronicles S1 E5 - KRISTINA'S STORY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Kristina started suffering from recurrent UTI's 3 years ago. One night, the pain she was in was unmanageable and she also had visible blood in her urine. She then booked an appointment to see her GP but was dismissed and told that UTI's aren't dangerous and they would go away on their own. She was only given 3 days of antibiotics and at the time she was literally peeing blood.
She then went to see a gynae but was told everything was normal, though she was in pain on a daily basis. Kristina describes her pain as peeing shards of glass and having her bladder stabbed with a knife.
In this video you will hear Kristina speak about how she was gaslighted by several doctors, had invasive procedures only to be told everything is normal and that she was meant to think the pain was all in her head. She was then discharged by all her medics without any treatment protocol. This is not OK!
Kristina is now in treatment with Dr. Rajvinder Khasriya, a chronic UTI specialist in Harley Street, London. She finally has hope and can now enjoy life and do the things she couldn't do before.
We would like to thank Kristina for taking the time to share her very touching story with us in the hope it will help others.
Please share widely to help raise awareness of this dreadful condition. This could help so many people realise that recurring UTI's aren't 'normal', that you are not just 'prone to them' and that they can become very serious if undertreated or left untreated.
Thank you for watching!

God this sounds exactly like me. Gaslight by the people that are supposed to help us. I have an appointment at HS as well in September I am so excited.
Sorry I'm so late in watching this, is so upsetting to hear all the natural routes you were told to go down first before you discovered harley street!
Do you have any update? I just find out i have this condition... Suffer every day
I completely understand you as I also had an undiagnosed uti. I also found dr Malone Lee and after a few months I was completely cured. So I hope you will be pain free soon.
