Doubtful. Are you keeping yourself well hydrated? Concentrated urine has precipitated UTI flare-ups for me in the past.

I had one after my surgery from the catheter. About two weeks later I had another UTI, this was when I was having difficulties with fluid intake. Since then I haven’t had anymore.

Stay well hydrated (this has a flushing effect) and always wipe front to back (sorry to be crude).x

A little more FYI crucify? I draught all my children girl and 2 bous to wipdone that way. Freaked my late husband out when he happened to observe oNE of our sons. I didn't think anything about it, shoot if he wanted to,be in charge of bathroom habits he should have stayed home instead of working 12 and even 15 hour shifts at his office. Second reason if he had the ITIs I've had in my lifetime he truly,would have understood. We, as God's ultimate model with 3 not 2 openings were blessed with a very short urethra so bacteria have an easy march up to the bladder. Hello pain and suffering!

I have at least 2-3 UTI's yearly. Usually it is from the diarrhea I experience when I eat something I should not. There will be times it will hit you and you don't always make it to the bathroom, hence the bacteria gets up inside you and causes a UTI. Sorry - kind of graphic - but true. It has happened to me more times than I can count!

I hardly ever got UTI's, but since I had surgery 11/21/2017 I have had 2 kidney stones that caused UTI's. I was told the kidney stones are from the increased protein we eat. I know it's not a lack of hydration for me. I consume about 100 oz of fluids a day.

Keep on with the excellent hydration, it helps in the long run. Do they know which variety of stones they were? Sometimes you have to modify your diet further or go on some medication. I'm on a bladder antispasmodic and will be until I see my urologist in March. Just a little blip but I'm getting better.
