This is unbelievable. As soon as my mom gets through a session of antibiotics for a UTI, two weeks later she has another one. This has been going on for about 7 months now. She has a faulty bladder that does not empty properly but I just can't deal with this anymore. She has been hospitalized twice and is now in rehab after falling, again.
I'm going to talk to here PCP about putting her on a daily dose of low antibiotics. I'm also going to see if a permanent catheter might help with this problem. I'm not kidding folks. As soon as she is cleared of one UTI she gets another. I am at my wits end. She was independent until all this started and now she is just sick all the time from the UTIs. Please, someone, offer us some help.
Now she wants to try PNE (Peripheral Nerve Evaluation). It involves the insertion of a couple of wires into mom's back to try and stimulate the bladder to empty. My brother and I do not like this idea.
Also, AZO makes a great over-the-counter product: Cranberry Powder with a Probiotic + Vitamin C to support urinary health.

It sounds quite useful.
This has worked very well for me. Prior to this I was continuously having UTI'S.
I would try to talk to Mom's urologist to request the antibiotic.
