How To Treat Recurring UTI?
My mother is > 60 years old and had an angioplasty 6 months back. Subsequently, she has been having uti almost every 3 months. She has never had utis this frequently prior to the angioplasty (may be once a year perhaps). Could the angioplasty/medications after angioplasty be related to the recurring uti?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
No, Angioplasty and its medications have no relationship with her recurrent UTI.
If she is a diabetic, that can cause heart problems and UTI both
I would advise you to get following:
1. Urine R/E
2. Fasting And Post Prandial Blood Sugar
3. Ultrasound KUB
4. Xray KUB
5. Urine Culture
6. Urine for AFB
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us.
Stay Healthy
