Brief Answer:
NO, aspirin cannot cause UTI!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this recurrent UTIs that your sister has, Aspirin cannot cause UTIs. I will suggest that the doctor does a urine culture to isolate the germ and determine which antibiotics can treat it fully. How often does your sister gets UTIs and what drug has she been using for this?

I hope to hear from you. I wish your sister well. Thanks so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
