Is A Procedure Needed To Drain The Air In The Bladder And Has A History Of Recurring Bladder Infections?
My sister is diabetic, had reoccurring bladder infections for over a year. Admitted to hospital with sepsis and has recovered from that. Now they are saying she has air in her bladder and may need a procedure. She has been on every antibiotic to kill the infection in her body. They said her blood was infected.

If there's air in her bladder then she has a fistula--a connection between her colon and her bladder--and that requires surgical repair
