urinary tract infections (UTI), cystitis or bladder pain making your life miserable? Do antibiotics help for a while but then symptoms come back again? Do your urine tests come back clear even though the symptoms are just the same as cystitis and infection? If this sounds like you, then you may


be suffering from a chronic UTI. Chronic UTI can be caused by


persistent bacteria within the wall of the bladder. When bacteria first enter the urinary tract, they’re free- floating and easily seen in urine but, under the right circumstances, bacteria can also invade bladder cells and then replicate within the cells to form intracellular bacterial commu- nities (IBCs). Tese IBCs often have enhanced resistance to antibiotics. Inside the cells, the bacteria can cause ongoing symptoms. Ten, at a later point, further bacteria can re-emerge to cause more infection and re-invade neighbouring bladder cells. Many men and women suffer


unnecessarily from chronic UTI for years, even though the problem can often be treated effectively. At Yorkshire Urology, Mr Ali, a


consultant urologist and recognised expert in urological infections, can help identify if you have a chronic infection. Te team will assess your symptoms and use specialised urine testing to look for evidence of chronic and undetected bacterial


infection.

Don’t ignore your chest discomfort! A cardiologist’s health warning


There are many causes of chest discomfort, from indigestion to heart disease. The first is the least concerning and can be a nuisance but the latter can mean a potentially life-threatening condition, which, if not diagnosed and treated in time, can be fatal


and London, seeing many patients with chest discomfort presenting in the latter stages of heart disease or already having suffered a heart attack through not seeking previous medical attention on the assumption that it’;s ‘indigestion’ or that ‘it’ll just go away’. Many of these patients require emer- gency admission when the condition worsens and may require emergency coronary stenting treatment to restore blood flow to the heart.

patients who are too ill to undergo surgery or would prefer to avoid major open heart surgery. Dr Tang is one of the few specialist


cardiologists who can treat chroni- cally occluded coronary ‘fuel pipes’ to the heart, avoiding the need for major surgery. Tis is carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation with a high success rate. Dr Tang sees many patients that


suffer with angina chest pain despite having received optimal medical treatment and previous coronary bypass surgery which can fail over time. Tese patients can benefit from coronary intervention to restore the patient’s quality of life says Dr Tang. Dr Tang also commented that


previously blocked coronary arteries, which were nigh impossible to open due to the risks involved, are now being overcome by cutting-edge technology and clinical device advancement, which is proving to be very successful. A new ability to carry out high-tech


imagery of blocked vessels allows accu- rate placement of drug loaded stents to improve long-term success. Tis treat- ment has helped eliminate symptoms
