A member asked:

What can be done about my reoccurring uti s ? some antibiotics don't seem to work for example bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) and suprax

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recurring UTI: Get evaluated by a urologist. All suspected uti's from this point forward should be proven with a urine culture. This is the only way of knowing if the antibiotic selected is appropriate.
