I had a uti about 4-5 weeks ago, the doctor gave me antibiotics and I took them. Then it was fine for about 3 weeks, but now I woke up and it has come back. I've been getting these ever since I was 8 or 9, now Im 18. What can I do to stop it completely!?

Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows. 1. Urinary tract abnormalities are common cause of recurrent urinary tract infection. 2. A pyelography can evaluate if there is any abnormalities of urinary tract. 3. If its normal, immune system evaluation and hygiene training will be necessary. Meet an urologist for further tests. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
