Chronic UTIs: Seeking Advice

Hi all! I had kidney infection misdiagnosed as muscle pain in 2019 (worst doctor ever). I ended up staying three nights in the hospital a week later. Since then I’ve had chronic UTIs. I’m talking like 8+ a year… I feel like I’ve tried everything to help manage them and can’t get them under control. I had one this year that lasted over a month and I had to take 3 rounds of antibiotics. I currently see a few different doctors who have been very helpful but we haven’t pin pointed anything yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated <3

all the usual and more… Good hygiene, always peeing after sex, etc. D-Mannose daily, urinary tract specific probiotics, and apple cider vinegar all daily. I just started going to a urologist who’s going to do some more tests next month. I’m also seeing a pelvic floor therapist and an acupuncturist.
