A member asked:

Antibiotics have been unsuccessful treating a chronic recurring uti. i'm paraplegic and use catheterisation to urinate. i've been researching phage therapy as an alternative to treat the uti. can you be of assistance with furthering this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Phage therapy: If you have any questions about phage therapy, feel free to initiate a consult with a physician to discuss it. Your local urologist can guide you better if and when it can be utilized in your case. Take care.
