Question 1

can gall stones be my reason for reoccurring uti's?

Accepted Answer

No: Gallstones have no relationship whatsoever to the urinary tract. It is possible to get kidney stones or bladder stones, however, which can contribute to the formation of UTIs. If you have recurrent UTIs, it is wise to be evaluated by your doctor, who may refer you to a urologist if you are found to have stones in the urinary tract. Good luck.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes it can..: Urinary tract infection--by definition: any organism infecting this system is a uti, including chlamydia. Often, this organism does not cause much symptoms and so can go unnoticed for many women. Infections in the vagina/unterus/fallopian tubes are more concerning as infertility can be the result. So, if u have symptoms or are concerned about this, please consult doc. Good luck.
