Uti And Surgery

I'm scheduled for surgery on Wed and it's Sunday night now. I feel like I might be getting a UTI. Will this postpone my surgery?

Maybe if I ignore it, it'll go away.

I think you need to tell you doctor. You don't want to go under with an infection.

Ignore it- absolutely not!! Tell your surgeon do they can treat it before Wed!! You have time to flush it! Otherwise it could spread during surgery .

A) Start taking a cranberry supplement. B) drink a gallon of Water a day, and c) tell your surgeon! They're going to insert a catheter and catheters can cause UTIs, but in your case you already have one so it can spread the UTI to your bladder/kidneys and speaking from experience, don't let it go! I had a UTI about a month ago and I let it go with just AZO and it turned into a HORRIBLE kidney infection - bad enough to the point where I was hyhaving to take percocet for the pain - NOT fun at all!)

As it turns out, I told the surgeon during my preop appt, and he gave me an antibiotic, no worries.

I was mainly concerned they'd postpone the surgery and I definitely did not want that!!
