I developed a UTI 3 months ago and although I have been prescribed numerous antibiotics nothing seems to have worked. They would help for a little while but eventually the infection would come back even stronger. I think it developed from having sex and since then I have been very hygenic and used condoms etc, however this has not seemed to help. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am really panicking, I don´t know what else they can give me. I´m worried it´s something worse sad

    Have you asked for a referral to a urologist? I think that's what I would do because you could need further investigations.

    Mollie I have the same problem! And I've been having UTI since 3 years ago. I've taken over 6 antibiotics including shots and nothign has worked. I was diagnosed with E.coli bacteria. I recently have health insurance so I was able to go to a specialist. They recently did a bladder sonogram and checked my kidneys. I/m still waiting on the response to see if there's anythign wrong. I suggest take one step at a time liek am doing. I'm seeing if theres something wrong with bladder structure... urine retention, or many other conditions.Good luck.!

    Your initial infection is now immune to the antibotics. Most of the antibotics only remove the symptoms not the root - that is the problem. I learned that it is best to urinate before and after sex and clean aeas before and after sex. Good thing you are now using a condom while your conditon is trying to heal. 

    Also, whatever remedy that is being used the person must continue to use it for 7-10 days even when symptoms subside - if not, the root gets stronger because the medication or remedy stops.

    I would highly suggest to remove all Sugars (read all labels of the many different names) from your diet and any alochol because it only increases the infection, while you try to identifying where is the root of it through ongoing dr. tests.

    Each time antiboitics are used, your good bacteria is wiped away from the walls of the bladder. 

    You can take some 1 tsp of baking soda, some honey and glass of water to start immediately making your environment more acidity which the bad bacteria of the infection can not sustain. Or you can use apple cider and water to do the trick. 

    Eat some plain yogurt (1 cup a day) and drink so Kefir. Feed these probotics, you can google prebotics that feeds the good bacteria.

    Stay positive, it is light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you get well soon.

    Take some D-Mannose Powder,  Probiotic Flora Pills, drink lots of water and urinate often.
