Why won't my chronic UTIs go away despite treatment?
Patient's Query
I’ve had a chronic UTI for over a year all my test come back normal, antibiotics work for about a week or 2 then I get a uti infection again followed by a yeast infection. I’ve been on antibiotics for the past year every month I’ve had a flare, my blood work is good, but prolactin levels are at 24-33, could there be any correlation? I wipe correctly, wear cotton underwear I do it all… one time I had no uti symptoms except for a fever I went to the emergency room and I had a uti once again I was on the verge of septic shock 4 weeks later I had another uti and so on, a week ago again every month, the doctor seems confused and the gynecologist didn’t find anything. The kidney doctor didn’t either, my white blood cells are fine, what else could I ask to her checked ?
Answered by Dr. Neeta Verma
Your tests are normal, yet you experience symptoms, so speak to your healthcare provider and ask about the prospect of further evaluations. You can ask them if cultures for specific bacteria or other potential causes like interstitial cystitis, bladder issues, or anatomical abnormalities should be performed. Prolactin levels may not be a direct cause of UTIs, however, it's worth discussing with your doctor. Furthermore, the introduction of probiotics will help win the war over flora and will make yeast infection less likely to occur. Bringing in a specialist in chronic pelvic pain or a urologist who is familiar with recurrent UTIs can help you explore less conventional routes to avoiding and managing this condition.
