A regular urinary tract infection (UTI) indicates some serious problem - either some more serious underlying health problem or something in your lifestyle and habits that is resulting in such frequent infections. Before checking with your doctor, you can try certain measures that should reduce the risk of a recurring infection, but if these do not help, medical help is essential.
One simple thing that you should do is drink plenty of water daily. This helps flush your system and reduces the chance of any bacteria remaining in your urinary tract, where they can otherwise easily multiply. It is also important to urinate whenever you feel the urge, as holding your urine means holding in the bacteria as well. Wash yourself thoroughly but gently whenever you urinate and also after any sexual activity. It is also a good idea to urinate soon after sexual intercourse, particularly for women, as this flushes out bacteria that might have entered the urinary tract during intercourse. Women should also be careful when washing themselves - wiping should always be done from front to back, never from back to front, which has the risk of transferring bacteria from the anal area to the vagina.
If these measures do not work, you should visit a doctor to determine whether there is any problem with the kidneys or bladder.
