Suggest Remedy For Recurring Attacks Of UTI

have been having recurring attacks of uti for many years. It got worse after i had a cystoscopy and bladder done as i feel the cathter affected me. since 2007 i get attacks every two weeks or even one week. i tried taking pyridium but was not effective. My urologist prescribed Niftran with cranbe capsules and oxalabact capsules. it gave me relief but recently i find that when i stop niftran (i was taking it twice a day - and sometimes one a day) the attacks recurred. as i travel frequently it is essential that i get complete relief. please advise if its safe to continue daily with 1 niftran capsule. thank you.
