Recurrent UTIs: One of the most common reasons for women to have repeated UTIs is sexual intercourse. Thus, to prevent this I would recommend less frequent sexual intercourse. Other potential causes are not wiping front to back after using the restroom and not completing a recommended course of antibiotics (taking every single tablet/pill as prescribed). Short of those simple things, please see you OB doctors.
