I drink TONS of water--I'm talking about 10 glasses a day. Thankfully I have avoided UTI issues. Maybe it's the water & the folic acid I take daily?

I never Hearď of Methotrexate causing UTI. U might want to go back to your urologist. I just Learned that that my bladder isn’t working at all.
I had To get a tube in my stomach which stays there forever. I can’t pee to save my life. Someone comes from VNA and changes it once a month. I also had this terrible dry cough that lasted for months so I decided to stop it. I go On Friday to see him and get yelled at, lol! Good luck with everything!

I had a year of one UTI after another. 2 things that helped, one was estrogen cream which my urologist prescribed and I also added a dmannose supplement .

Is there evidence that MTX causes uti, or unrelated? I’ve been on it for 3 weeks and keep feeling like an infection is starting. I hardly ever get them.
