Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common types of infections, affecting millions of people each year, especially women. A UTI occurs when bacteria, most often Escherichia coli (E. coli), enter the urinary tract and multiply. While men can also develop UTIs, women are significantly more prone due to their shorter urethra, which allows bacteria to reach the bladder more easily. UTIs can affect different parts of the urinary system, including the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys.

Symptoms of a UTI can include a burning sensation during urination, frequent urges to urinate, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain. If left untreated, UTIs can spread to the kidneys, causing more severe symptoms such as fever, nausea, and lower back pain. In severe cases, kidney infections may lead to sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection that can damage multiple organs.

Treatment typically involves a course of antibiotics, which effectively clear up most infections within a few days. However, in some cases, UTIs can be recurrent or resistant to standard treatment, especially when the infection is caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Women with recurring UTIs may experience multiple infections within a year, requiring more specialized treatment approaches.

We specialize in treating women who suffer from UTIs that are difficult to resolve completely. These cases often involve recurrent infections or infections that do not respond well to initial antibiotic therapy. Our approach includes a comprehensive assessment to identify any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the persistence of the infection, such as anatomical abnormalities, hormonal changes, or immune system dysfunction. We also explore advanced treatment options, including tailored antibiotic regimens, probiotics, and lifestyle changes that may help prevent future infections.

By addressing the root causes of recurrent UTIs and offering personalized care, we aim to help women achieve long-term relief and prevent complications like kidney infections or sepsis.
