In all the years i have gone through proper medication. Now my culture report is showing Klebsiella aerogenes. Why this infection is occuring again and again?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Recurrence can be due to inadequate antibiotic therapy or dysbacteriosis. Culture and sensitivity of urine should be done and proper antibiotic therapy for proper duration should be carried out. You can take cranberry juice and barley water which helps in alkalizing urine and helps to get rid off infection and bacterial growth. For female using intimate wash is helpful also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
