Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I keep getting water infections like 2-3 times a month. Everytime i get one i go to the doctors but they dont seem to give me anything to help. Im in so much pain! :( Is there anything i could do? Ive also tried drinking cranberry juice and water everyday for 3 months but still no cure.
Hello there, A recurrent urinary tract infection may indicate that a) There is some cause of stagnation of urine in your tract. This could be a stone or stricture b) When you clean yourself down there you use a back to front instead of a front to back swipe leading to infection c) Your urine is already acidic and prone to infection.
You need to get an ultrasound abdomen to rule out A. Better hygiene would take care of b. Having an alkalizing solution available Over the counter would help you deal with C.
Hope this helps, I would be glad to answer any further queries, Dr Arun A
