Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in women and associated with considerable morbidity and health care use. The clinical features, diagnostic testing, and causative organisms are often similar to those of single cases of UTI, although there are additional treatment strategies and prevention measures to consider with recurrent UTIs.

Among adults aged 20 to 50 yr, UTIs are about 50-fold more common in women. In women in this age group, most UTIs are cystitis or pyelonephritis. In men of the same age, most UTIs are urethritis or prostatitis.

UTIs can affect several parts of the urinary tract, but the most common type of UTI is a bladder infection (also known as cystitis). The body can sometimes fight the bacteria without any problems; however, the infection can cause discomfort and may sometimes spread to the kidneys.

Urinary tract infection is second only to respiratory infection as the most common type of infection. Every year, urinary tract infections are responsible for nearly 10 million doctor visits. About 80 to 90 percent of UTI are caused by one type of bacteria. Women develop UTI much more often than men.
