If you have 3 or more urinary tract infections (UTIs) a year, ask your doctor to recommend a special treatment plan. Some treatment options include:
- Taking a low dose of an antibiotic over a longer period to help prevent repeat infections
- Taking a single dose of an antibiotic after sex, which is a common infection trigger
- Taking antibiotics for 1 or 2 days every time symptoms appear
- Using an at-home urine test kit when symptoms start
- Taking a nonantibiotic UTI prophylaxis treatment
