Yes, your concern is very true.
Usually chronicity (15 yrs) is due to diabetes.
In my clinic, I always advise blood sugar level fasting & post-prandial to such chronic patients.
There are many other causes for chronicity like stricture/stone/retained foreign body in urinary tract etc.
So I advise X-ray KUB, ultrasound abdomen & pelvis, renal function tests, CBC.
Treatment of the underlying cause will cure the recurrent UTI.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Thanks. Regards.
