How long have been bothered by UTIs, @pdx2ogg?

I asked my urogynocologist that question. Her simple answer was she was consistently treated me as a "complicated" UTI. I was given longer days on antibiotics, so that I wasn't repopulating. Other changes included a vaginal estrogen crème to strengten the tissues and I started taking D-Mannose (supplement). I had a pessary that helped to keep my bladder in position to try and ward off retention which was a contributing factor to UTI.
This past June, having gone without a UTI for months, I began bleeding. Got all the tests and was planning a biopsy, when she uncovered that I am a victim of eroding mesh from a 1994 mesh sling used to lift my bladder. I was operated on this past July to remove what could be seen. The eroding mesh was causing the bleeding tissue. I have a suspicion the eroding pieces of mesh have been the cause of my UTI's and much more. I'm still trying to figure it out. Best wishes for your journey to finds a solution.
