A member asked:
Been to the doctors today and have got antibiotics for the 3rd kidney infection i've had in 9months. what could be causing them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several causes: for recurrent kidney infections: stones, abnormal anatomy, blood stream infection, etc.. You would benefit more by seeing a specialist, a urologist, some more studies, as blood / imaging studies may be needed, meanwhile finish the full prescribed course of antibiotics, another common reason for having a recurrent infection, is not completing antibiotics prescribed course, good luck
