What Are Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections?
A urinary tract infection, also called a UTI, cystitis, or a bladder infection, develops when bacteria are able to enter and colonize the urinary tract and, which are normally sterile. Around twenty percent of all women experience at least one such infection during their lives; however, these types of infections are significantly less common in men. In some people, an isolated infection may recur several times if treatment is not effective. These are referred to as recurrent urinary tract infections.
