Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

If you have recurrent urinary tract infection you should be investigated further for the exact cause of that. A ultrasound abdomen will be the initial investigation advised by your doctor. Your doctor may ask for further investigations including MCU AND DMSA Scan.

Some times a normal urine report may be mistaken for urinary tract infection. How many pus cells are present in a high power field? Was a urine culture and sensitivity done?

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
