UTIs 1-2 per month?
I get frequent UTIs and have since I was 10 years old. I get one or two a month. I keep very clean and take cranberry pills with lots of water every day. Just wondering if anyone has anything similar or would possibly know why i get so many?

Hello,
Recurrent UTI’s could be due to various reasons. Most common cause is stones in kidney which is blocking urine pathway. Other causes are changing sexual partners frequently, pregnancy, diabetes and of course childhood infections. The urine can also be due to retention of urine anywhere in its flow due t obstruction. The obstruction can be due to abnormality of structures since birth, stones or diseases like tumors. Females are more prone to urine infections. So you should get a ultrasound, CT scan done and also some urine and blood tests done from a urologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
