Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common issue, especially in young women, and your symptoms along with reports showing pus cells clearly indicate an ongoing infection. The most important step in your case is to wait for the urine culture report, as it helps identify the exact bacteria and the most effective antibiotic-this is crucial because repeated use of the same antibiotics can lead to resistance and make infections harder to treat.
Meanwhile, doctors usually prescribe symptomatic relief medicines and sometimes a bladder-specific antibiotic to control the infection temporarily. Since your ultrasound is normal, structural issues are less likely, but lifestyle factors such as inadequate hydration, holding urine for long periods, or using unclean toilets can contribute to recurrence.
Additionally, sexual activity can sometimes be associated with infections, so maintaining hygiene and using protection (like condoms) is advised. It’s also important to rule out underlying conditions like diabetes if infections are frequent.
Going forward, drinking plenty of water, not delaying urination, maintaining proper hygiene, and completing the full course of prescribed medication based on culture reports are key to preventing recurrence.
