I've been dealing with UTI issues again. I had one back in November 2016 and took norflox then, and it cleared up. This time, the problem started on April 3rd, and I took norflox for 5 days along with citralka syrup. It got better, but then it came back after just 2 days. Now it's continuing every day. What should I do? Is there something different I should try or be concerned about?

Recurring UTI symptoms despite antibiotic treatment, including norflox, suggest a possible underlying issue, such as antibiotic resistance, incomplete treatment, or an underlying anatomical or functional abnormality; consider consulting a urologist

I'm a 29-year-old male and I've never been able to pull my foreskin back when erect, though I can stretch it to the level shown in the picture when flaccid. My main concerns are do I need surgery or can this be managed with stretching exercises and creams? Also, is this because of a tight foreskin or a short frenulum breve like in the picture?
