A member asked:
Why do i always have kidney infections? what is it that makes me prone to them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recurrent UTI: Recurrent urinary tract infections, particularly infections in the kidney, are problematic. You should probably see a local urologist to have a work-up to define the cause, as there is no simple answer to "why"! the doctor may be able to define a source and treat you, and hopefully help you avoid such episodes in the future.
