Recurring Urinary Tract Infection
Alternate Names : Chronic Urinary Tract Infection, Recurrent UTI, Chronic UTI, Relapsing Urinary Tract Infection, Relapsing UTI, Chronic Cystitis
How is the infection diagnosed?
A history of the symptoms is taken by a healthcare provider. A urine sample may be sent to a lab for a urinalysis and a urine culture. Infected urine often contains bacteria and white blood cells, the infection-fighting cells of the body. Normal urine contains little or no bacteria or white blood cells.
