How Can Recurrent UTI Be Treated?

I continually get UTI s. I have been taking cephalexin 250 mg. and started back on oxybutynin. I have some leftover meds from previous UTI s. I am having pain in my lower back on the right side and my urine is cloudy. Usually, I get hurting and burning . I think I am getting an infection and want to head it off. I have some Trospium Chloride, Cefuroxime Axetil, and am thiking of doubling up on my Cephalexin. That worked once before. What do you suggest?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.



I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



I understand your problem.

My opinion is we should know why you are getting UTI again and again. Whether you have renal stone or decreased immunity or any thyroid problem. I suggest you for the following investigations before you start the treatment.

1) USG abdomen and pelvis for renal stone

2) Urine routine and microscopy

3) Urine culture and sensitivity for type of bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity 4) Blood sugar levels (BSL)

5) Thyroid function test



Consult us with reports or consult your urologist



Hope this will help you



Get well soon.



Thank you
