Hello and hope you are doing well.
Understand your predicament mam. But the progression of polycystic disease cannot be controlled, only the symptoms can be kept in check. For bladder infections, practice these lifestyle changes they will help in the long run. For relief from pain apply heated pads, drink plenty of oral fluids and take frequent sitz baths for 15-20 mins. Prevention of episodes is by urinating frequently, practicing good hygiene after each bowel movement, taking showers instead of bath tubs and urinating immediately after intercourse.

How can I normally treat the polycystic kidneys.? I do the diet thing very well. Eat no more meat, and no potatoes and lots of fruit and veggies I could not take in any longer. But my system is short in vitamins. Which vitamins is save for me? Like magnesium? I don't know calsium, and I am a bit worried about that becaus my late mother and oldest sister had osteo arthritis. And I also shuld have a look at the other side to te warfarin I am using for the mitral valve replacement. But whatever the doctor said I cannot eat or use I stpo immediatly. I want to have a look at myself and my body. What can I use for this keep on bladder infections, because of the kidneys. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO CONTROL THIS THING! Thank you so much for the reply back.
Strict diet and taking care of other causes like diabetes or hypertension can only prevent/delay the progression of kidney failure, it cannot normalize the kidney function. For this the underlying cause for the failure needs to be treated namely the polycystic kidneys.
