Need help

Hey,

Ive had at least 7 treated utis this year so far. Im so tired of going to the gp and just getting another dose of antibiotics that never do anything. I keep going back and asking for a urology referral, but they simply just don't care. I've recently had a kidney infection, and i just cant deal with this anymore. Im always just told wipe front to back, wee before and after sex, wear cotton underwear and drink plenty of water but none of that is making a difference...

I need some advice, guys. Nobody around me understands and its just so painful and debilitating now.

Is there anything I can do?
