Host Melissa Kramer speaks to Dr. Angelish Kumar, board-certified urologist and founder of Women's Urology New York, in a powerful continuation of their discussion on chronic UTI, recurrent UTI, and overall bladder health.
Dr. Kumar shares her clinical insights into diagnosing and managing persistent urinary symptoms, pelvic floor dysfunction, and long-term bladder inflammation. This episode offers practical guidance to help you determine whether your symptoms stem from an ongoing infection or post-infection inflammation, and explores multi-modal strategies to finally break the cycle of recurring UTIs.
Key Takeaways:
- Uncover hidden infections: Learn how diagnostic tools like cystoscopy and advanced urine testing can detect embedded bacteria and bladder wall inflammation that standard tests often overlook.
- Healing beyond antibiotics: Understand why managing chronic UTIs involves more than just prescriptions—considering approaches like cranberry extract, vaginal estrogen therapy, D-mannose, and bladder lining support.
- Bladder-pelvic floor connection: Discover the link between recurrent UTIs and pelvic floor dysfunction, and why pelvic floor physical therapy may outperform antibiotics for some patients.
