Urinary track infection...?

Well ive had a UTI a couple of weeks ago and the first time i went to the doctor they gave mme the wrong medication (that apparently shouldve worked) and after finally the second time i got the right medication. But even the second doctor said it was really servere and he gave me some serious medication to cure it. Now i hold it again and i cant understand if theres a bigger problem at hand. I mean adjectives summer ive been out of sorts since i got into bad behaviour of sleeping and being very unactive. Since my last UTI i hold been constipated, had my period wearing a tampon during sports (the first light of day i started to become active again) ive masturbated, yes all of this sounds gross but im worried and i know you mAy not be doctors but i am looking for some answers. Is it really abnormal getting UTIs so close together?
Thanks

Answers:

When you enjoy a urinary tract infection, get treated, and then the symptoms recur in relatively short charge it is because the lining of your bladder becomes irritated. There is something called the assumption of bacterial adherence which means once the lining is irritated by an infection it is more susceptible to infection again. You can:
1) Call the doctor and drop off a urine specimen for culture so they bequeath you the antibiotic that will treat your specific infection. This may require a longer course of antibiotics, a different antibiotic, or a course of antibiotics once per day or after sexual activity (masturbation or sex).
2) Avoid constipation as this can cause urinary problems as capably (blocks the flow of urine from the urethra or "pee tube" keeping the urine in the bladder long enough to become infected).
3) Change your tampon more often and dust the area more frequently but avoid tub baths or bubble baths (floats bacteria into the urethra).
If the culture is negative (you hold symptoms but not an actual infection - as in no bacteria or pus in the urine) you can after:
a) Take 1000 mg of Vitamin C per day to acidify your urine making it harder for the bacteria to cling to the lining.
b) Drink at least possible 100 ounces of fluids per day (does not have to be ALL water but should not be adjectives of one kind of fluid).
c) Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods as they are bladder irritants.
d) Void on a schedule rather than waiting to get the impression the need to urinate (go every two to three hours if you feel like you enjoy to or not).
a, b, c, and d are good ideas anyway whether you have a UTI or not. Source(s): Working for urologists for 14 years.
