A member asked:

How many incidences of uti in a year in a woman is acceptable? and when should i seek a specialist consultation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: Though women due to anatomical make are more prone to uti, frequent or recurrent UTI require evaluation. Drinking lots fluid, good hygiene is important. May need evaluation for like cystoscopy or ivp to rule out anatomic source of infection.
