What Causes Urine Infection To Occur Frequently?
I am 55 years female Diabetic patient for 18 years. I have been suffering urine infection for the last 7 months one after another without any break. Every time I am hospitalized and given some antibiotics for 14 days in injection form and then I take antibiotic regularly at night. But no improvement, even though I am taking antibiotic, I am infected again. In addition, from urine infection, it infects kidney functionality. 10 days ago I finished my injection dose ( Cefaperazone + Sulbactam 1.5g IV) and now taking Cephalexin 250gm. Today I got my culture report and found that I am infected by E.Coli with colony rate greater than 10^5. I have visited many doctors and not found a solution. My creatinine is 2.0, WBC 11000 /CU MM. Please give me suggestions.

Hi,
Your suffering from diabetes from a long time,in it their is more susceptibility to infection,
Tight control and regular monitering of glucose is essential,
It will help you check infection,
Drink plenty of water ,keep your genitals cleans
Renal stones may also cause obstructive disease leading to rise in creatinine and recurrent infections,
Rise of creatinine may be due diabetic nephropathy,
You will have to undergo some scanning like ultrasound abdomen and pelvis and cray kub to rule out above causes,
To get your test done and to get an expert opinion please visit an nephrologist
