Hello,
You have to rule out diabetes first as it can lead to recurrent UTI. For that, a fasting blood sugar estimation can be done.
Second rule out prostate enlargement by transrectal ultrasound.
I suggest you drink lots of water and fruit juice.
Wash genital after sex if you are sexually active.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
