Any recommendations for long term follow up for elderly woman hospitalized for uti ? ?low dose maintenance antibiotics ?monthly testing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prevention measures: Daily cranberry juice or pill will help to prevent uti. However, if there is multiple uti, then there may be a kidney stone, tumor, incontinence, dryness of vaginia, bladder dysfunction or urethrea problem. Urology consultation is therefore recommended to prevent from having long term UTI problems.
