Of course it is. Incomplete or inadequate treatment is solely responsible for this condition.

You can't diagnose #IC/#BPS when tests to rule out chronic infection are unreliable. You should all be pushing for #bettertestingforUTI instead of dishing out life sentences to everyone with an inflamed bladder & a negative urine test. A severe #chronicUTI looks the same as #BPS

Increasing water intake does not treat UTI. The microbes are dividing in the tissues; diluting the urine does nothing. The illusion: Given a positive culture, dilution of the urine leads to a negative urine culture. A trick using a test defect. You have not treated anything.
@BBCBreakfast Covering the @guardian article on chronic UTI and then giving advice on just drinking water to clear a UTI. GP has NO clue. Many of us ladies suffer and just wish we were given the correct antibiotic dose in the first place. @JamesMaloneLee3 is a god send!

#WorldMentalHealthDay, some advice for urologists who need it. Don't assume the woman in front of you is vulnerable to this illness because she is anxious (a not unusual stance). She is anxious & depressed BECAUSE she's in pain & feeling her life slip away from her #chronicUTI

@JamesMaloneLee3 has provided a tour de force of data regarding the deficiencies of standard MSU, culture thresholds and the failure of mixed growth to differentiate significant UTI from healthy normals.

I am aware of the great pain & suffering caused to many women around the world by #vaginalmesh. I hope NZ will act in line with best practice of other countries to ensure justice & to prevent such suffering in future. womanandhome.com/health-and-…

It is a shame @DavidClarkNZ will not comment about this issue in the public domain. We implore you to stop using the excuse that this is not one of your portfolio's! As NZ's Health Minister this should also be your responsibility @jacindaardern your silence is noticed by all.

I fail to understand why people in the UK are so anti the surgery in the US route. Yes expensive, but, fully evidenced and documented COMPLETE removal. Why would any one challenge this unless it meant admitting you can’t get a full removal in the UK. Bonkers.

Today has seen a gigantic global fuss about the woeful state of devices regulation. The Royal College of Surgeons has come out and said things need to change. What's gone wrong, and why does it take *journalists* to point it out, rather than regulators / researchers?

Hernia mesh has now been banned by British Athletics for use on its athletes, @DaiGreene reveals.
He lost five years of his career to complications #VictoriaLIVE

You can make any body look bad if you try hard enough, you can make Mother Teresa look bad if you really want to, BUT her work speaks for it self, as does Dr Veronikis’s. He is still the best removal surgeon and that’s a fact no one can argue with. That’s what matters most .

In the 60s few saw smoking as a health risk In the 90s many mocked passive smoking Now look at opinion. So too will happen with #mesh History will look back & wonder how plastic was allowed to be so freely implanted into women's vaginas @FibroidNetwork @EmmaHardyMP @carlheneghan

Why is people’s pain ignored after Mesh has been implanted ?
Every life is important and pain should not be present night and day because of a piece of plastic .
