A member asked:

What could be reason for reoccuring uti in a seventy years old woman for about a year now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cause of uti: A 70 year old woman can have infection due to incomplete bladder emptying, it may be related to poor vaginal hygiene, neurogenic bladder. It is important to have a catheterized urine specimen for culture to be certain that it is truly a urinary infection
