If that is not getting anywhere, you should be able to find a good urologist. She might want a urogynecologist, the specialty for women that includes urinary issues, along with the gynecological.

You said you are in Dayton. There will be someone there. Don’t forget to include Kettering in your search. (That is a nice hospital — and has the most gorgeous landscaping I have ever seen at a hospital. Word has it that Mrs. Kettering left the money to make sure it could go on after her.) But, I digress — enough about flowers and back to urology.

(I lived in Dayton for a few years, decades ago, and I have visited recently so I know the territory, sort of.)

Do a Google search for urologists and urogynecologists in the Dayton area, and start asking around to find a doctor who can help.

But, if I may be so bold, I suggest you go with your aunt to the doctor, maybe starting with the one she has now — if that’s OK with her — and help her get some questions answered and the treatment she needs.

Also recommend going with your aunt to the doctor. Sounds like she needs an advocate...you?
