Yes: Recurrent UTIs a common problem for many women. Typical UTI symptoms: urinary urgency, frequency, burning/pain, voiding small amounts, bladder pressure, and sometimes blood. Important to have both a urinalysis and a urine culture done to document the presence of a UTI as well as identify the bacteria (and appropriate antibiotic sensitivities) as there are other urological conditions that mimic UTI

Need a UA...: A UTI is an acute infection, so it is not that your UTI recurred - if you do have a UTI it would be a new infection. UTI's are more common in sexually active females. Voiding after sex is thought to help reduce the risk of developing a UTI. Regardless, see your physician for a UA to confirm the diagnosis and for antibiotic treatment.
