Suggest Treatment For UTI As It Is Not Cured With Medication.

The doctor performed a physical on me, and told me I have a UTI, but after finishing my medication 3 weeks later, it still hasn't gone away. Should I worry if it may be a bigger problem or if I just need to get more medication? Yes I am sexually active, but we are both clean.

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.

Persistent UTI requires evaluation.

Many a times there is some precipitating cause for infection like Stones in urinary tract.
You should get following investigations:
1. Ultrasound KUB
2. Urine R/M
3. Urine C/S
4. Serum Uric Acid levels
5. Urine for AFB.

I would be able to help you better if you could give me your detailed history and share your reports with me.

This is my best advice for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
