Hello
Frequent infection can occur due to systemic causes like diabetes or also bad hygiene.Next time you have an UTI ask for a urine culture and sensitivity test to determine exactly the bacteria and appropriate antibiotics.Also you can get an ultrasound to rule out kidney/bladder infection/stones.
