Question : I am in my twenties and for as long as I can remember I have had chronic bladder and year infections I get probably 8 or more bladder infections and 5 or more bladder infections every month and not only do I have an extremely hard time riding myself of them so do doctors because the infections are unable to be killed with antibiotics(they seem to be immune) is there anything I can do???

Brief Answer:
Have you done a urine culture? What's the name of the germ identified if yes!

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

I am so sorry to hear about this repeated and resistant bladder infections that you have reported. The best approach at this time is to do a urine culture. This way, we can confirm the infection, identify the germ and what antibiotics it is resistant to or can be used to eliminate it. Please, let me know if this has been done already and if so, kindly upload the reports. If it has not been done, it should at this time.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and hope to hear back form you. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
