"Recurrent Infections in Women
Health care providers may advise women who have recurrent UTIs to try one of the following treatment options:
Take low doses of the prescribed antibiotic daily for 6 months or longer. If taken at bedtime, the medication remains in the bladder longer and may be more effective. NIH-supported research has shown this therapy to be effective without causing serious side effects.
Take a single dose of an antibiotic after sexual intercourse.
Take a short course—2 or 3 days—of an antibiotic when symptoms appear.
To try to prevent an infection, health care providers may suggest women
drink plenty of water every day
urinate when the need arises and avoid resisting the urge to urinate
urinate after sexual intercourse
switch to a different method of birth control if recurring UTIs are a problem"
