Urinary Tract Infections

Recurrent urine tract infections (UTIs) can be very bothersome, and not just because the symptoms of rushing to the toilet and the feeling of passing "razor blades" affects your health and quality of life. Many trips to the doctors for prescriptions of antibiotics can be frustrating. If you suffer from recurrent UTIs it is worth having some investigations to ensure there is no underlying problems.

• MSU (mid-stream urine): a urine sample to check the bug growing in the urine
• Renal ultrasound: scan of the kidneys and bladder to ensure that there is no abnormality such as an obstructed kidney, a cancer or a kidney stone.
• Flexible cystoscopy: this is to check the lining of the bladder.
