General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Frequent or recurrence of urinary tract infections could be due to following reasons:
1. Resistance of organisms causing infection to the antibiotics used.
2. Persons with diabetes mellitus.
3. Infection spreading from the partner.
Kindly get urine and vaginal secretions culture and sensitivity done. You and your partner can take a course of antibiotics depending on the organism found and antibiotics they are sensitive to. Also, get your fasting and post-prandial blood glucose levels checked along with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, to make sure that you are not diabetic.
Kindly maintain good genital hygiene.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
