Repeat urinary tract infections: What can I do?

I am currently on my third UTI this year. I have no idea how I get those, because I have a Bidet and do not use paper for wiping. I had a small kidney stone 3 yeas ago, but that seemed to have been gone last year, because it could not be found with ultrasound. I will see they Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) urology department in early September, and hope that they can come up with a solution.
I live in SW Florida, but travel each year to Minnesota to have Mayo docs take care of my health care needs.

Do you feel Minnesota helped you better? Reading that your are from Florida I'm wondering why you didn't go the Florida?

wish i could use a bidet as have ibsd and fecal incontinence, thing is i was using a sitz bath for relief of pain until i realized the feces, although had wiped before, was getting in the water and perhaps then getting into bladder as many utis over that time; having bowel issues it is hard to keep the area clean and have had lots of utis and today blood in urine.. my daughter has a bidet toilet and keeps on at me to use, but i feel the spraying water arond the anal area might spray the water into my bladder... have you checked any info about relationship between bidets and uti;s or even vaginitis? I dont know what to do any more and now on Trimethoprim which apparently according to internet can cause narrow angle glaucoma which i already have i am terrified will lose vision from this antibiotic and mind going around in circles! thanks for any advice, info, J.
