Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose a significant health concern, particularly among young women, often leading to considerable morbidity. Defined by the occurrence of 2 or more acute UTIs within months or 3 within a year, distinguishing recurrent UTIs from relapsing infections is crucial for appropriate management. Effective treatment and preventive measures, such as selective prophylaxis and lifestyle modifications, are essential components in mitigating further episodes, highlighting the importance of coordinated care between primary care clinicians and specialists.In this course, the intricacies of recurrent UTIs are explored, including etiology, diagnostic evaluation, and management strategies. By learning the various blood and urinary tests that aid in narrowing down the differential diagnosis, clinicians are better equipped to provide targeted care to patients. Moreover, the anatomical considerations and hygiene guidelines, especially pertinent for women prone to recurrence, are detailed in this course, which enhances clinicians ability to tailor treatment plans more effectively. Collaboration with an interprofessional team is emphasized, further helping to optimize outcomes with a holistic approach necessary in managing recurrent UTIs.
