In this episode, we’re talking about UTIs and why the bacteria around your vagina and bladder are essential for good health. I’m chatting with registered Chinese medicine practitioner Joanna Macmeikan about all things UTIs and bacterial vaginosis and why antibiotics are not always the answer.

HERE'S WHAT WE COVER:

• What is a recurrent or chronic UTI and how is it different to a one-off UTI?
• How do we treat a recurrent UTI?
• What are some problems with the current medical approach for recurrent/chronic UTI? 
• Other than antibiotics, what else can cause an imbalance in the vaginal microbiome?
• Are there any other conditions that we might mistake for a UTI but there’s actually something more going on?
• How would women know if they have a recurrent/chronic UTI Bacterial Vaginosis?
