What Would Cause Recurring UTI's?
what causes reoccurring uti's?
I'm 21,5'2, 155lbs. I've had reoccurring uti 's since I was 17yrs. why???
when I was 17 I was in the hospital for kidney stones. the doctor had put a stent inside of me to help the kidney stone pass & I also had layzer treatment to brake down the stone ,when I was suppose to go back to the doctors to get ultra sound pictures done to give to my kidney doctors to see if the stone had pasted .so he could make a decision whether or not to keep the stent in me I didn't have any insurance so I couldn't do the altra sound . a few months pasted ,and one day I was using the restroom and I felt something coming out of my vagina. it was was the stent coming out. so I had to go to my kidney doctor and my doctor yanked the metal stent out of me ,without Anastasia or anything! it was painful. do you think there can be a connection with this and my reoccurring uti 's ????

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern from the history given here I could say that you already have a history of renal disease and for that you had gone through the stenting so if this is the condition and history then recurrent of UTI is very likely in my opinion to eradicate the infection you need to get done the urine culture sensitivity test, take care and have a nice day.
