Question
I have a urinary tract infection after ovarian abscess surgery. I had surgery on September 13, 2019 and recently I have painful urination, have been treated with antibiotics but the disease does not improve, recurs again and again, every time I stop taking antibiotics, I get sick. The doctor asked me if I have to live with that disease forever?

Hello, sister. You need to see a gynecologist to see if there is an accompanying vaginitis, because many cases of recurrent UTIs are caused by associated vaginitis.
You also need to see a urologist to look for other causes of recurrent UTIs and have a urine culture to look for the causative agent. At the same time, pay attention to proper urogenital hygiene.
You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more advice. Thank you for trusting Vinmec. I look forward to meeting you for more specific advice.
