A member asked:

I get bladder infections (once led to a kidney infection) a lot, is it a 'chronic bacterial infection'?

No it's not: A chronic but a recurrent infection. Ask ur pcp about a referral to a urologist for further workup to check for abnormal structure in ur urinary tract. Take care! http://www.Patient.Co.Uk/doctor/recurrent-urinary-tract-infection.
