I just obtained another
uti.
I believe the uti's are coming from not
emptying my bladder all the way.
I use a condom catheter all the time
but i straight cath every morning and night to completely empty my
bladder.
Well, last friday and monday night my
aide them nights had a broken finger and i did not get the
bladder empty.
Now, Thursday/Friday, i have a
uti.
Does anyone think this would cause
it?
Or is it just
circumstances?
Thanks,
Derrick C-5

some can while others can't
Bladder thumping is kinda an artform. Some can while others
can't. Some have tighten muscles, while others don't. Be prepared
for that day when thumping won't help you empty or relieve your bladder
and...... best wishes

Do any of you tap around your bladder to cause muscle contractions? I
have done this since erehab. It causes the muscles to contract and the
sphincter to release the urine in several flows. Because of it I can use an
external catheter and avoid all the infections from indwelling catheters. It
is just a gentle serious of taps on the tummy and then the bladder muscles
contract and empty it.
By the way, the sediment is usually caused when you have a bladder that
is not emptying. This allows bacteria to grow in the bladder, often causing
stones to form which in turn cause more bacteria to grow.
I'm still a
proponent of anti-infectives and large doses of vitamin C.
For those of you on anti biotics, try that new Dan-active from Dannon
between doses and see if it really helps avoid the constipation and the runs
that are so common with anti biotic use. I personnally just use acidophalous
capsules between any anti biotics that I take
