Hi,

Well, recurrent UTI may be very difficult to treat since some resistant bacterias may be present. It also indicates few things:
1. possible cause of incontinence, evacuation or inappropriate antibiotics therapy.
2. If Prostate problems are present, then incomplete evacuation will lead to residual urine, which can get infected, and results in recurring infection. Correction of prostate problems along with plenty of fluids and cranberry juice will reduce recurring infection.
3. If urine culture and sensitivity was not done before identifying appropriate antibiotics, then its necessary. Do get this test done. Along with above correction and appropriate antibiotics, infection is easily treatable.
4. More fluids along with cranberry juice will help in removing of infection through urine.

If any catheter is being used, it needs to be removed to avoid another source of entry of infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
