Expanded operation times within the Eastern European Council
In an effort to address the challenges faced by women suffering from recurring urinary tract infections, Prof. Dr. Andreas Wiedemann, head of the Urology Clinic at the Evangelical Hospital Witten, has established an advisory clinic. This clinic is a part of the Evangelical Hospital Witten, which is a member of the Evangelical Augusta Ruhr Association.
The advisory clinic is designed to inform, sort, and structure the approach to recurring urinary tract infections. It offers a comprehensive solution for women dealing with this persistent issue, providing recommendations for both prevention and therapy following initial consultations.
During the initial examinations, patients undergo an ultrasound of the bladder, kidneys, and ureters, as well as a urine test. Based on the gathered information and initial examinations, treatment concepts are developed.
Prof. Dr. Wiedemann emphasises the importance of tackling recurring urinary tract infections systematically. These infections, especially when accompanied by irritative bladder symptoms, can significantly impair quality of life.
The advisory clinic involves collaboration with treating urologists, gynecologists, or family doctors. It also includes the Council for recurrent urinary tract infections at the Evangelical Clinic Witten, which conducts further investigations if necessary.
Herbal remedies like cranberry, D-mannose, or kidney teas are intended for prevention rather than therapy of urinary tract infections. Prof. Dr. Wiedemann addresses questions regarding bacterial infections, overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, urine cultures, antibiotic therapy, recurrence frequency, timing, sexual intercourse, vaginal infections, and potential causes like chlamydia in his clinic.
To access the advisory clinic, patients can make an appointment through the secretariat of the Urology Clinic. The contact number for the secretariat is 02302.175-2521.
Prof. Dr. Wiedemann's advisory clinic is a beacon of hope for women struggling with recurring urinary tract infections, offering a structured and comprehensive approach to managing this condition.
