A member asked:
Had 7 courses of antibiotics in 8 weeks to treat uti none of which have worked? are all these antibiotics damaging my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not a UTI: if repeated course of antibiotics have not relieved the symptoms then it may not be a UTI or there may be a reason why the infection is hard to treat. You should consult with a Urogynecologist or female urologist. I hope this helps.
