Reasons for recurrent UTIs, depend on age and gender and any underlying medical conditions. Sometimes they occur after sex. Best to make sure there is no urinary bladder problem or urinary drainage problems or urinary reflux. Sometimes Concentrated Cranberry pills or D-Mannose help. There are combination pills of Cranberry and D-Mannose in the Vitamin Shoppe. Some companies on Amazon sell high potency Cranberry pills. Increasing fluid intake is helpful; passing urine after sex is helpful, and good hygiene matters help.
