Frequent infections
If you experience frequent UTIs, your doctor may make certain treatment recommendations, such as:
•Longer course of antibiotic treatment or a program with short courses of antibiotics at the start of your urinary symptoms
•Home urine tests, in which you dip a test stick into a urine sample, to check for infection
•A single dose of antibiotic after sexual intercourse if your infections are related to sexual activity
•Vaginal estrogen therapy if you're postmenopausal, to minimize your chance of recurrent UTIs
