[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 1333531, member: 100221"] I'm sorry to hear of your latest problem. To answer your questions: We have close family member who has been catherterised since birth due to a bladder deformity and a lot of complex and pioneering surgery when a child. She was only the second child in the country to have a mitrofonoff stoma and bladder augmentation Now a young adult, she self-catherterises very successfully. She has built up a natural resistance and rarely has infections. Her paediatric urologist was very against antibiotics and believed in allowing her build up her own natural resistance which is what has happened. She takes no medication for any conditions and is incredibly healthy, despite her disabilities. It was recommended that she drinks Cranberry juice daily which she has done for years. I think she would say that this is a very convenient way of dealing with a complex bladder condition. There is also a lot of support available from specialist nurses. I hope you get some answers and reassurance soon [/QUOTE]
