@fotula I moved your message to this discussion in the Kidney & Bladder group.

Apparently research is being done to develop a vaccine to help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Early studies look promising and further trials are being conducted.

Fotula, have you and your doctor discovered the cause of the recurrent UTIs you're experiencing?

I didn’t know that someone is working on a vaccine for UTIs. Wow. I really need this. Because of my spinal cord stroke I have frequent UTIs and I feel this has contributed to my kidney failure. I will as my doctor about this. They have never mentioned anything about a cure. Thanks for the information.🥰

I have had every test you can think of. Nothing abnormal. I drink 3 quarts of water daily, take probiotics, 500mg Vitamin C, d-mannose, cystex, you name it. It just happens. It all started after I went thru menopause.
