New Canadian guidelines will help improve treatment of RECURRENT urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women.
About 25% of women with a history of a UTI have them recurrently. These are women who have at least 2 episodes within 6 months...or 3 or more positive urine cultures within 12 months.
Before starting prophylactic antibiotics, recommend a urine culture 1 to 2 weeks after an infection to rule out a relapse.
