Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query

Recurrent urinary infections are due to inadequate fluid intake, altered PH of urine and / or lack of hygiene - Apart from this a cross infection from the partner

Take adequate fluids daily

Get a urine report done if the PH is acidic take an alkaline mixture

Maintain hygiene

If your partner is infected get him treated

Hope this helps
