"Urology Issues"

On 9th July, 2018 I had prostate surgery at the Newcastle Freeman Hospital. The operation was successful and I experienced no further Urology issues until November last year. I then experienced the first of a series of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Since then, I have had a further 4 UTIs. The treatment I received from the WestFarm GP Practise and Walk in centre has always been a weeks supply of Nitrofurantoin antibiotics and the condition cleared quickly following treatment. I also submitted urine samples as requested, but understand that these have not been conclusive in identifying my problem.

Earlier this year, I became concerned at the frequency of these infections and requested a referral to the Freeman Hospital Urology. At no time have I been offered a face to face appointment with a GP and my requests have not been followed.

I have just completed the last antibiotic treatment and therefore expect a further UTI in the next few weeks. I would request assistance to end this spiral of never ending treatment and a specialist referral.
