Would you mind sharing any pros or cons you have experienced while using Methenamine Hippurate?
I have dealt with UTIs since the age of 4, I'm now 52. The majority of my childhood was spent with Urologists and on medication for UTIs.
I was cathed many, many, many times by the time I was 11 years old (cathing stretches the Urethra) to try and help retention. Cathing never made a difference and my last Urologist, as a kid, told my mother not to let any doctor do that to me, it was not necessary, painful and would not help. So, just treating the UTIs became the normal.
I am tired of dealing with UTIs. They are not as frequent as when I was a kid but I am still very prone to them. The problem I run into now is many times I can't feel that I have a UTI <sigh>
Anyway, I have considered asking for Methenamine Hippurate in the hopes I might avoid UTIs, for the most part.
Your experience with this medication would be much appreciated.
