Abstract
Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common, and burdensome, condition that accounts for up to 3% of GP appointments per year. It affects over half of women in their lifetime, disproportionately affecting post-menopausal women. Most presentations of recurrent UTI will be to GPs, so for them to recognise and manage recurrent UTI, and when to refer to secondary care is important. This article outlines the microbial and non-microbial prophylaxis and management options available to GPs for recurrent UTI in non-pregnant women. The article will highlight when to refer patients to secondary care for further management.
