For chronic urinary bladder infection,you need clinical examination and investigations.Investigations include routine hemogram,renal function test,Urine culture and sensitivity and Ultrasound of abdomen.
Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many possibilities.You may need further evaluation like cystoscopy(for direct visualization of urinary bladder)or CT scan depending upon findings. Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
