Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection: The Common Problem
What is a Urinary Tract Infection?
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a catch-all term for an infection that occurs anywhere in the urinary tract.
For women, this includes infections in the kidneys (pyelonephritis, characterized by fever) or bladder (also called “cystitis,” with typical painful urination, frequency and urgency). We often use the terms “UTI” and “bladder infection” interchangeably.

How UTI Treatment Works
Step 1
First, contact ChristiMD Medical Group for an initial consultation.
During the consult, Dr. Christi will talk with you openly and honestly, asking and answering any and all questions. If it appears you might have a UTI, we'll take samples and send them for lab tests.
Step 2
Depending on the results of the lab work, Dr. Christi will likely prescribe at least one course of antibiotics.
You'll also have a thorough examination of the pelvic area, and a microscopic examination of urine samples.
Step 3
If you have more than 3 urinary tract infections in a year, Dr. Christi will look more in depth.
This could include a renal ultrasound to look at your kidneys; an x-ray to look for stones; and a bladder scope in-office to evaluate the bladder wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, there is no one treatment for all UTIs. A urinary tract infection could come from any of several different causes, requiring different treatments.
The urinary tract consists of two parts: and upper and lower tract. The upper tract has the kidneys and ureters. The lower tract has the bladder and urethra.
Women get more UTIs than men because a woman’s urethra is much shorten than a man’s. That makes the urinary tract much closer to the external opening, where bacteria enters.
No, they’re not. Sexual intercourse can cause a UTI to develop within 24 hours, but it’s not sexually transmitted; rather, the friction that happens during coitus helps bacteria from the vagina find its way into and up the urethra.
