A chronic urinary tract infection is a
repeated or prolonged bacterial infection of the bladder or urethra, the tube
that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. While urinary tract
infections are common, some women suffer from repeated or recurrent infections
CAUSES
Recurrent UTIs occur because bacteria usually E. coli gets into your
urinary system. E. coli typically lives in your lower gastrointestinal tract,
and it can sometimes transfer from your rectum to your urethra.

certain cancers, like breast cancer

bacteria
