Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should do urine culture and sensitivity, also look to find out underlying pathology which is causing a recurrent UTI to you. USG will help in diagnosing the underlying pathology.

Also take plenty of water that will flush out the residual bacteria from the urinary tract.



I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
