Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections observed in the primary care.1 The infection is seen more often in women than in men (8:1), with approximately 50-60% of women reporting at least one incidence in their lifetime. Recurrence after UTIs is common in adult women. Recurrent UTIs constitute approximately 4% of all UTIs; epidemiologically, this might be one of the most common problems in urological clinics. Recurrent UTIs, including relapses and reinfection, are defined as ≥2 uncomplicated UTIs in the past 6 months, or ≥3 infections within the preceding year (Figure 1). Available data from primary care setting suggest that 53% of women above the age of 55 years and 36% of younger women experience a recurrence within 1 year.
