First UroGyno Appt Rant
After waiting months, I had my first urogyno appointment to address my reoccurring UTIs. I saw an RN because the doctors were booking out even further. I gave her my history of how often I get them, the type of bacteria they are, how antibiotics work for me, and the preventative measures that I take. I already am incredibly vigilant with hygiene and so is my husband. I take d-mannose every night and a vaginal probiotic however, I still get UTIs often.
She performed a pelvic exam to check my anatomy which was good, and told me to come back in three months… I was given a standing order to have a urine culture done if symptoms pop up. I asked about a pelvic floor therapist and I was told to bring it back up in three months. I asked if any test we’re going be put in for either a culture today just to see or to check for any yeast issues or anything but nope.
I know UTIs issues can be tricky to diagnose, but I feel like this is below the bare minimum.
Anyone else have a similar experience or what was your first appointment like to address your UTI concerns?
