- In this video, Dr. David Kaufman discusses his approach to UTI testing and treatments:
• Dr. David Kaufman works with Maiden Lane Medical to help treat men and women with urinary tract infections.
• The connection between Interstitial Cystitis (IC) and chronic urinary tract infections.
• His belief that chronic urinary tract infections can lead to IC, where the infection is no longer the issue but rather, damage to the bladder lining.
• Why establishing the cause of symptoms is crucial for treatment.
• His belief that catheterisation for a urine sample provides the most reliable results.
• How conditions including chronic cystitis and pelvic floor dysfunction can overlap in symptoms.
• How physical examinations allow for the identification of the correct diagnosis.

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'm so glad you found an answer. Thanks for sharing your experience. Melissa
So he believes in IC diagnosis? What does he offer as treatment?
This doctor is amazing. I live in Atlanta, GA and wish I could go see him. Do you have any doctors in the Atlanta area that treat cUTI?

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 :(
You're not alone in this experience - we hear so many similar ones from our community. Clinician education around chronic UTI is crucial.
has anyone explored oxalates in foods causing UTI's???
We've covered it somewhat in relation to the formation of kidney stones linked to UTI symptoms: th-cam.com/play/PLw4jZoKstjMnT528YzkjEreH07vnExrO4.html. Some people in our community have reported that oxalates in the diet cause UTI symptoms while others do not have this issue.
Entamoeba histolytica parasite can cause... Uti infection like i.e cystisis?
We have another video that talks about parasites in the bladder: th-cam.com/video/ittEM_FI82w/w-d-xo.html

I m diagnosed with interstitial Cystit with no infection or bacteria sign they even did a cystoscopie with biopsy nothing came out of its negative. I’m miserable it’s been years I don’t know what to do anymore i leave in France but I can travel . I just want this to stop .
Can you please send us an email and let us know where you're based? We'll share any relevant resources we have: liveutifree.com/contact
I have the same, can I ask did it start with a uti
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. My cultures come back negative always and a pcr test comes back positive. What company are you using because I know microgen only does a certain part of the test with New York you cant get the sensitivity and all the resistance genes
We can share information about clinicians who can provide appointments via video call, if you'd like those details. Please send us a message via liveutifree.com/contact
I live in upstate NY and have been working with Dr Hill at Suffolk Pelvic medicine remotely. She was on the list of clinicians that liveutifree sent me.
@@heatherbergen8253 are you on Facebook? I'd like to friend you and talk to you about this awful issue. Is she doing the pcr/ngs testing?
Dr B in Louisiana treats appropriately! And uses these pcr tests.
@@marybordwell6659 I cant afford to go to Louisanna unfortunatley. My urologist is doing pcr tests but Im fighting with the company right now that I used they paid two of my claims now they are denying them its a constant struggle. New York has some dumb rules here with the testing they dont allow the sensitvity part of the test and wont give all resistance genes.
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.
@@PreciousMe Yup same here. Nothing seems to help. Also using vaginal estrogen, Hiprex, Vitamin C. I get them every 2-3 months. Working with an Ayurvedic doc and waiting for some test results so she can help.
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
So sorry to hear you're experiencing this - you're not alone. We hear so many similar stories. We can share information about UK specialists if you send us an email: liveutifree.com/contact.
