    One of the difficulties now is telemedicine, not actually seeing people and doing good exams ie UAs, cultures, visual etc esp with mobility issues &/or nursing home situations.

    Thank you for sharing this information. I was told at 68 that I had a UTI and was put on antibiotics w/o urine sample ordered.

      May I ask, did you have symptoms of a uti? If not, what symptoms did you have that prompted you to be seen by a doctor? Thanks in advance.

    I do not get pain when I pee. The frequency and urgency and in severe cases incontinence Occasionally I do get fever and chills. And twinges of pelvic pain.
    Just starting low dose estrogen suppository to see if this helps.
    The spot test Urinalysis does not show infection but cultures do show infection.

    I have read studies linking bacteria found in chicken, after ingestion, to more frequent UTIs. It is mostly in women. If this is even remotely common, it should be made clear to the public.

    Would toilet that facilitate washing genitalia after evacuating help reduce infection?

    I would like a more clear definition of “colonized” bladder.

      You can find good definitions by searching Google for "asymptomatic bacteriuria". Here's one from www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK547179/
      "Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is defined as the presence of a significant bacterial colony count present in a person without any of the typical signs or symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI)."
      From a practical perspective, it's a positive urine culture (meaning a culture that grows more than 100K colonies of a certain bacteria) in the absence of localized UTI symptoms.

    Taking D-Mannose every day will help prevent UTIs.
