Hello. I am a 24yo male who was diagnosed with Crohns about 2 years ago. Since then I've had frequent and persistent UTIs, about 3 or 4 times a year. Usually I'm given a course of antibiotics. Just recently, my doctor gave me a CT Scan w/enema to see if I had a fistula, but apparently I do not.
I was glad not to have it, but still perplexed over the frequent UTIs.
Does anyone have anything to suggest as far as the next course of action, or are the frequent UTIs just something many of us have to live with?
If that is the case, anyone have any recommendations as to how to best manage my Crohns to avoid frequent UTIs? Does cranberry juice help? Drinking more water? More frequent urination?
I don't know much about this so am happy to have found this forum.
Thank you.
