Q: Frequent Bladder Infections (always Same Month And Time)

Hello,

I was wondering if you could help me out. My girlfriend has frequent bladder infections every two months just one week before her period. It has been like this for the past two years.

She is currently on Birth Control and has been on it since she was 18 years old. She is currently 23 now.

The doctors have told her that she has and under developed bladder, and have tried many procedures in helping her diagnose this problem. She has been put on 2 different kinds of antibiotics as well as macrobid and cipro.

The urologist has finally told her to seek a Natropath.

Do you guys have any other suggestions, of what she can do?

she needs to be kept clean and dry. Pee before and after sex. and drink cranberry juice frequently. All these things will help control the bacteria that have been causing her UTI's
