The complexity behind recurrent UTI management often leaves both patients and clinicians with questions on the optimal management strategy. Should they be treated as an uncomplicated UTI? Are there special considerations or prevention measures? Are there unforeseen or unknown factors contributing to disease incidence? In this second episode, we take a deep dive into the treatment and management of recurrent UTI and explore the impact that this disease has on patients.
