James Marusek 5,244 Posted August 20, 2016 My mother suffered from Urinary Tract Infections all the time. You could always tell when she had this infections because she became weak on her feet which could lead to a fall. She was also confused and incoherent. Generally she had to take antibiotics for a week or two to get rid of it. She developed a strain that was antibiotic resistant and had to take a cocktail of several antibiotics at once.

Daisee68 2,493 Posted August 20, 2016 I had UTI when I went in for my hysterectomy and my urologist said to tell that surgeon to give me IV antibiotics to prevent it from getting worse. My UTI was very mild at the time though (i.e. no fever, not a kidney infection). You need to check it out and call your surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
