I am so sorry you have had such severe infections as to cause surgery as your treatment!
There are many causes to bladder or urinary infections, not just sexual intercourse. Has your doctor ruled out other possible conditions? Are you receiving appropriate diagnosis before taking antibiotics (antibiotics need to be provided only after a culture is performed to determine the exact type of bacteria). What has your doctor told you as your next steps with your recurrent UTI?
