Thanks for your query at HCM!
I see you are quite troubled. I suggest you to be brave and take correct treatment.
How have you been treated in past?
Are you diabetic?
I suggest you must collect clean catch "mid-stream sample" and send for routine microscopy and culture & sensitivity for bacterial infection. You must take take the treatment based on sensitivity report.
I suggest one must look for a source of persistent infection, such as a structural abnormality (eg, stones, renal abscess, cystic disease) for which is you need investigations like ultrasound abdomen & Pelvis.
It has been seen that postmenopausal women who have recurrent UTIs may benefit from estrogen replacement, either systemic or local.
Practice to void urine immediately after intercourse.
Take care!
