Urine infection
My wife has been suffering from recurring urine infection/UTI symptoms for almost one year. We have done multiple urine tests several times, but most of the reports come normal. Despite this, the problem keeps returning every 5–6 days.
We have consulted many urologists and gynecologists. Whenever she takes medicines, she feels fine for some time, but after a few days the same symptoms come back again. We have also avoided physical contact for a long period, but the issue still continues.
We are very worried and would like proper guidance regarding the root cause, further tests, or long-term treatment options for this recurring problem.

If repeated urine reports/cultures are mostly normal, this may not be a true recurrent UTI. Causes like urethral syndrome, interstitial cystitis, vaginal infection, pelvic floor dysfunction, stones, diabetes, or antibiotic-resistant/hidden infection should be evaluated.
