Possible Causes Of Urinary Tract Infections?

Can anyone tell me some possible causes for urinary tract infections that appear one after another after another (like every 3 weeks?). I do all of the obvious things: take showers instead of baths, clean the area well, wipe front to back, etc. But I keep getting painful urinary tract infections again and again and again. Sick of being on Cipro which they put me on again today. Anyone have any suggestions to prevent urinary tract infections? Or know of possible causes why they keep coming? I am not currently sexually active if that makes a difference. I do wear tampons, could that be the cause? I got one the week after my period the last time, and ended my period again 3 days ago.

Yes I've seen a doctor, multiple doctors in fact, they all do the same thing, prescribe Cipro for 5 days and say to take Pyrididine (not sure if I spelled that right)

try drinking lots of cranberry juice... it works for me... but it takes a few days for you to c the result... do try...

Has the doctor said anything? If not go see another one ok! NOW!

Have you seen a doctor about possibly having a physical problem that is causing your UTI's? Go see a urologist!

I used to get UTI's all the time as well. My suggestion is to stop drinking pop, soda depending on where you live. I have not had one since.
