My uti keeps coming back i've been on antibiotics before, the ten day length ones, and they worked but only temporarily.

Recurrent UTIs: Having more then two urinary tract infections a year is a pain. Usually an evaluation for this involves cystoscopy to look for a physical reason. If there isn't a physical reason there are few medication management possibilities. 1) pre-prescribed as needed antibiotic use for symptoms/activities 2) alternative monthly between two antibiotics. 3) other options too. Talk to your doctor about them.
