What Causes Fever And Frequent Urination When Diagnosed With UTI?

default
Posted on Fri, 20 Jan 2017
Question: My wife was diagnosed with urine infection. Doctor said that it might be due to sexual intercourse between husband and wife and so she told us to avoid sex for some time. But, the fact is, I never had sexual intercourse with her. So what could be the possible reasons for her urine infection? Since the month of May, this year, she has been doing job in a hospital as Cardiac OT nurse. Within 10 days she got urine infection for the first time. After that she had urine infection for a couple more times. She occasionally experienced fever, pain during urination, and frequent urination. Once she also experienced infection in her eyes, in which her eyes became red with burning sensation.
