Infección del tracto urinario crónica o recurrente
Nombres alternativos:
ITU crónica o recurrente; Infección de las vÃas urinarias crónica o recurrente
Prevención:
Mantener limpia la zona genital puede ayudar a reducir la probabilidad de que se introduzcan bacterias a través de la uretra. El área genital debe limpiarse de adelante hacia atrás para reducir la posibilidad de "arrastrar" bacterias desde la zona del recto hasta la uretra.
Incrementar la ingesta de lÃquidos puede facilitar la eliminación de las bacterias de la vejiga a través de la orina.
El hecho de abstenerse de orinar por perÃodos prolongados le puede dar a las bacterias tiempo para multiplicarse. Si la persona es propensa a las infecciones del tracto urinario,  entonces debe orinar con frecuencia para reducir el riesgo de desarrollar cistitis.
El uso de antibióticos profilácticos (preventivos) por tiempo prolongado se puede recomendar para algunas personas propensas a las infecciones recurrentes o crónicas del tracto urinario.
