Elderly mother is 83 recurrent UTIs
My mother is 83 years old she has been dealing with chronic UTI for at least a year or 2. She has been hospitalized with severe UTI in the past. The hospital Dr gave her estradiol cream . She threw it away didn’t think it was important . Saw a gynecological urologist who reviewed her case did injection in the bladder twice to give relief. She again has a Uti. I recc again she get the cream and explained how to use it.
Here is the thing when I was a child I remember my mother always wiping back to front. ALWAYS! I highly doubt she ever changed the way she handles her business down yonder and I believe this is the reason she keeps getting UTI or is at least aiding in it. I have tried to explain this to her and she said there is no way to do it any other way because of her bad back. She has a bidet which I know she uses but still I guarantee this is causing this problem. Do I contact her Dr and tell them ? What should I do?
