Hi. i would like to know what causes recurrent utis and is there any solution to this problem?

Basics: The female urinary outlet is close to the anus,which is a major source of the germs that trigger any UTI. Wiping back to front after a poop increases risk.Any sexual activity near the pee hole,either solo or with a partner can introduce germs to the outlet. A simple rule is to pee & flush the outlet after any such activity. Some have urinary defects/genetics that make them more susceptible
