How many UTIs constitute a recurrent UTI?

A recurrent UTI is medically defined as two or more confirmed urinary tract infections within a 6-month period, or three or more infections within a 12-month period.

Why do I keep getting UTIs even after taking antibiotics?

Recurrent UTIs despite antibiotic treatment can occur due to antibiotic resistance, reinfection, incomplete eradication, or underlying anatomical or hormonal factors. A specialist evaluation with urine culture is essential.

Can recurrent UTIs be prevented?

Yes - recurrent UTIs can often be significantly reduced or eliminated with the right prevention strategy including low-dose antibiotic prophylaxis, vaginal estrogen therapy for postmenopausal women, behavioral modifications, and evidence-based supplements.

We treat a wide range of infectious diseases including recurrent UTIs, HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and more.
