Urologist,  's  Response
uti and menstrual irregularities r two different entities and usually not related to each other unless u have endometriosis. Since u hv recentlr developed menstrual abnormality, endometriosis looks unlikely.
For recurrent UTI, u need to treat it with full course of culture sensitive antibiotic and stay on low dose of same antibiotic for long term may be 3 months. This will delay the recurrence of uti.
At the same time, as u had ureter block in the past , get ultrasound to rule out hydronephrosis in kidney of the same side. If it is there it has to be taken care of as in the past.
Also if u r diabetic, take care of it, as diabetics r prone to infection.
For menstrual problems kindly consult gynecologist.
