Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common and distressing problems faced by women of all ages. Frequent burning, pain during urination, and the constant fear of infection can significantly affect daily comfort and confidence. At Rahee Health Care, Bibwewadi, Pune, Dr. Veena Chaudhari, a Consultant Senior Urogynecologist, provides specialized and evidence-based care to help women prevent and manage recurrent urinary infections effectively.
With decades of clinical experience, Dr. Chaudhari emphasizes a preventive and personalized approach, combining medical evaluation, lifestyle guidance, and advanced urogynecological insights to ensure long-term relief.
A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria—most commonly E. coli—enter the urinary system through the urethra and multiply in the bladder. While a single episode can often be treated easily, recurrent UTIs are defined as:
Two or more infections in six months, or
Three or more infections in a year
Recurrent infections are particularly common in women due to anatomical factors such as a shorter urethra and its proximity to the vaginal and anal areas.
Improper genital hygiene practices
Postmenopausal hormonal changes causing vaginal dryness
Incomplete bladder emptying (common in women with prolapse or neurogenic bladder)
Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
Use of spermicides or diaphragms
Chronic constipation
Sexual activity without adequate post-intercourse hygiene
Dr. Veena Chaudhari highlights that identifying and addressing these underlying causes is crucial to breaking the cycle of recurrent infections.
Women with recurrent UTIs often experience:
Burning or pain during urination
Increased urinary frequency and urgency
Lower abdominal discomfort
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
Blood in urine (hematuria)
Prompt diagnosis and proper medical evaluation can prevent complications such as kidney infections or chronic bladder inflammation.
Dr. Veena Chaudhari follows a systematic and patient-focused diagnostic approach to identify the root cause of recurrence. This may include:
Urine culture and sensitivity testing to identify causative bacteria
Ultrasound or cystoscopy to rule out structural abnormalities
Urodynamic studies in patients with incomplete bladder emptying or neurogenic bladder
Hormonal evaluation in postmenopausal women
This comprehensive assessment ensures that each patient receives a customized prevention plan, rather than repetitive antibiotic courses that may only provide temporary relief.
Drinking 2.5–3 liters of water daily helps flush out bacteria and dilute urine, reducing infection risk.
Always wipe from front to back after urination or bowel movement.
Avoid harsh soaps or douches; use mild, pH-balanced cleansers.
Change sanitary pads frequently during menstruation.
Emptying the bladder within 15–30 minutes after sexual activity helps clear bacteria from the urinary tract.
Delaying urination can promote bacterial growth and bladder irritation.
Choose cotton fabrics and avoid tight-fitting garments to prevent moisture buildup, which favors bacterial growth.
Good control of diabetes, constipation, and hormonal imbalances plays a major role in reducing infection recurrence.
For postmenopausal women, topical estrogen creams or tablets (under medical supervision) can help restore vaginal flora and reduce recurrent infections.
In selected patients, probiotic supplements or cranberry-based products may help reduce infection frequency when used as part of a holistic care plan.
At Rahee Health Care, Bibwewadi, Pune, Dr. Veena Chaudhari offers advanced diagnostic and preventive strategies for women with complex or recurrent UTIs, including:
