I am pretty sure I have another urinary tract infection. I am on Humira. Do you think Humira has caused my immune system to be lowered. I just finished medicine for a sinus infection. Or do you think it is caused by my prolapsed bladder. I have had at least 3 infections since Jan. cry

I'd for sure think it's due to your prolapsed bladder. I read a little bit about them, and it says that you can't completely empty your bladder when you have one. My bladder doesn't completely empty when I urinate. It's not prolapsed or anything, it's just an odd quirk. Because of that, I'm really prone to getting UTIs after having intercourse. I take one macrobid (antibiotic) after sex to prevent getting them, because if I don't, it's pretty much a guaranteed UTI.

Thanks! I think you are right. I try to empty my bladder as much as possible. I will call the doctor tomorrow and talk to him. It is always something it seems. tongue
