Hi,
Thanks for asking this question.
Females are more prone to get UTI because of a short urethra and anatomical structure of the genitalia.Does Unmarried mean you are sexually inactive ? I suppose so. If this is the case I will suggest fallowing

1- Get your urine tested for Culture and sensitivity, which will guide you about the exact treatment of the involved germs.
2- Get your renal and abdominal ultrasound done. stones and structural abnormalities can cause repeated attacks of UTI.
3 Do consult your GP whcih will be of great help. Don't simple ignore and keep using broad spectrum antibiotics. Repeated attacks of UTI can damage your kidney.

I hope this will be of some help / benefit for you.
