<s>[INST] I have suffering from frequent urinary tract infections from the past 10 years, It started with my menopause symtoms. Now it is 6 years since i menoapused, but the uti has not subsided. I am on antibiotics since many years. I am in tears ,please help. [/INST] Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I see you are quite troubled. I suggest you to be brave and take correct treatment. How have you been treated in past? Are you diabetic? I suggest you must collect clean catch "mid-stream sample" and send for routine microscopy and culture & sensitivity for bacterial infection. You must take the treatment based on sensitivity report. I suggest one must look for a source of persistent infection, such as a structural abnormality (e.g., stones, renal abscess, cystic disease) for which is your need investigations like ultrasound abdomen & Pelvis. It has been seen that postmenopausal women who have recurrent Otis may benefit from estrogen replacement, either systemic or local. Practice to void urine immediately after intercourse. Take care! </s>
