Hi,
* Those are not the infertility medicines which give UTI, but it is coincidental things when you have not hydrated well your body with enough fluids during the therapy.
* Nothing serious issue, but needs definite care protocols to be followed as:
- drink more and more liquids
- keep genital hygiene at its best
- avoid vaginal intercourse till recovery
- take a urine culture report with a lab assistant and contact your doc for further antibiotics in accordance with that only
- keep blood sugar under control
- consume balance nutritious diet to combat self-body response to the recurrent UTI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
