A member asked:
My urethra every few months on and off will get swollen and ill get a urinary tract infection what could keep causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recurrent UTI: Studies show that recurrent UTIs can sometimes be from incomplete treatment of the original urinary tract infection. You need a full exam, culture and sensitivities need to be done. Recurrent UTIs are thought to be related to several factors including hygiene and activity of sexual relations. You need to be safe in both of these regards. Wipe away from your urethra and get screened for STDs .
