Recurring Urinary Tract Infections : Diagnosis and Management
6 days ago
I am 25 years old and have been repeatedly suffering from urinary tract infections (UTIs) for several years. Despite following previous advice like drinking plenty of water and cranberry juice, the infections keep coming back and sometimes cause severe pain. I have undergone a full-body checkup and urine culture is pending. I am sexually active, and there is a family history of diabetes. Can you guide me on proper management, the role of urine culture, preventive measures, and any medications I should take?

Your recurring UTIs indicate an active bladder infection, and antibiotics should be tailored according to your urine culture report to prevent resistance. Meanwhile, a targeted antibiotic acting locally on the bladder and symptomatic medications can help manage pain.
Using a condom temporarily is advised to avoid potential infection transmission from your partner. Maintaining high fluid intake helps flush bacteria, and any underlying issues like diabetes should be monitored, as they can increase infection risk.
Once the urine culture report is available, we can prescribe the most effective antibiotic and adjust your care plan accordingly.
