HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

With a history of frequent repeated urinary tract infections, you may need an ultrasound of the urinary tract to see if there is a structural reason for the repeated infections.

This means abnormal structure of any aspect of the urinary tract: urethra, bladder, ureter, kidney.
Tests looking at the function (how they are working) not the structure may also be necessary eg to see if an abnormal amount of urine is being left in the bladder after urination.

It would be best to see a urologist, a doctor specializing in the urinary tract, so that you can be properly assessed and treated.

I hope this helps
