I too suffered for years with UTI's after 5 years of complaining, especially how painful it was after sex, my doc reopened my c-section thinking I may have had endemitriosis(?) that was negative I was put on macrobid everyday for months at a time, I followed all of the instructions with no luck until I went for my pap and the doc had an intern who I gave permission to do my exam and low and behold he touched a part in my vagina and asked if it bothered me and I said YES that is the pain I get during sex...and was the cause of my UTI's it was a urethral diverticulm a little sac/pouch that formed in my urethra which collected urine and allowed bacteria to build up also caused several kidney infections, once it was removed the UTI's went away and I was good for about 5 years, for some odd reason I tend to test positive for UTI's even though I dont feel as though I have one (this was during my pregnancy) I have yet to go see a urologist, who knows maybe a small pouch remains not sure but I am much better. Hope this helps
