Recurrent UTIs (RUTI) are mainly caused by reinfection by the same pathogen. Having frequent sexual intercourse is one of the greatest risk factors for RUTIs. In a subgroup of individuals with coexisting morbid conditions, complicated RUTIs can lead to upper tract infections or urosepsis.

I've been dealing with frequent urination for the past two weeks and it's really getting to me. I've already tried antibiotics like Niftas and Flavospas, but they haven't helped at all. I seem to keep getting these UTIs over and over, and it's so frustrating. What else could be going on and what should I do next?

I had kidney stone removal surgery 3 weeks ago and the stent was taken out 5 days back. For the past two days my ear has been hurting and the left side of my face feels dull and numb. Could this be from the antibiotics? If I stop taking them will it go back to normal or do I need some other treatment?

It's possible your symptoms are related to the post-surgical recovery process, particularly stent removal, and could be due to the medication. However, it's crucial to seek advice from your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. While discontinuing the antibiotics could potentially alleviate some symptoms, it may not resolve the issue if it's a separate complication.
