Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are defined as two episodes of acute bacterial cystitis, along with associated symptoms within the last six months or three episodes within the last year. (nih.gov)
The source of these recurrent infections is the same as for any simple cystitis. (nih.gov)
Miscarriages8
Recurrent (repeated) miscarriages is having had at least 2 miscarriages. (msdmanuals.com)
Recurrent miscarriages may be caused by problems in a woman, man, fetus, or placenta. (msdmanuals.com)
Chromosome abnormalities may cause about half of recurrent miscarriages. (msdmanuals.com)
they may have recurrent miscarriages that occur after 10 weeks of pregnancy, The reason may be blood clots that damage the placenta and thus decrease the flow of nutrients from a woman to a fetus. (msdmanuals.com)
The more miscarriages a woman has had, the higher the risk of having another miscarriage. (msdmanuals.com)
The risk of having another miscarriage also depends on what the cause is, but overall, women who have had several miscarriages have about a 1 in 4 chance of having a miscarriage in a later pregnancy. (msdmanuals.com)
Chromosome disorders in a male partner may also cause recurrent miscarriages. (msdmanuals.com)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur far more commonly in women, accounting for at least 8 million visits to various types of healthcare facilities in the United States per year. (medscape.com)
Uncomplicated UTIs are infections that develop in healthy men or women with completely normal genitourinary systems. (medscape.com)
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common cause of morbidity, especially in young women. (nih.gov)
This activity outlines the evaluation and management of recurrent UTIs and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition. (nih.gov)
[1] Recurrent UTIs are much more common in the female population. (nih.gov)
[3] However, more than 100 CFU of E. coli with typical acute urinary symptoms has a positive predictive value of about 90%, suggesting that a lower CFU threshold may be more appropriate in diagnosing simple and recurrent UTIs. (nih.gov)
Several conditions may predispose to an increased risk of UTIs in both men and women. (nih.gov)
Cystoceles and pelvic organ prolapse are important risk factors for recurrent UTIs in women. (nih.gov)
Immunodeficiency typically does not lead to isolated recurrent UTIs. (nih.gov)
Infection2
Older men can often develop urinary tract infections due to outflow obstruction or neurogenic bladder resulting in urinary stasis and an increased risk of recurrent infection. (nih.gov)
Approximately one in three women suffers an uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) before the age of 24. (nih.gov)
Genital mutilation3
Female genital mutilation is recurrent in 13 of Chad's 23 provinces. (unicef.org)
Most often taking the form of clitoridectomy, female genital mutilation is generally performed between the ages of 5 and 12, but in some cases it can affect girls under the age of one. (unicef.org)
Unfortunately, the huge majority of African women are still unaware of their fundamental rights to health, education and life as part of the fundamental rights they gained several decades ago.2 They continue to suffer from sociocultural discrimination, harmful traditional practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM), gender-based violence, food taboos, forced marriages, early and unwanted pregnancies, all of which are very harmful to their health. (who.int)
Occur3
Overview of Female Reproductive System Cancers Cancers can occur in any part of the female reproductive system-the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. (merckmanuals.com)
They tend to occur in younger or obese women or in women going through perimenopause (the years just before and the year after the last menstrual period). (merckmanuals.com)
Type II cancers are more aggressive and tend to occur in older women. (merckmanuals.com)
Middle-aged2
Because of the high mortality when untreated, particular attention should be paid to young or middle-aged individuals who present with recurrent strokes in the absence of obvious cardiovascular risk factors, even if the setting of normal platelet counts. (shmabstracts.org)
Approximately 10%-20% of women will have complicated VVC, requiring special diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. (cdc.gov)
Identifying Candida by culture in the absence of symptoms or signs is not an indication for treatment because approximately 10%-20% of women harbor Candida species and other yeasts in the vagina. (cdc.gov)
Exposure1
Thank you so very much Dr. Rabby.The next question is, does sex with a male partnerwho was possibility exposed to Zika qualifyas repeated exposure for a pregnant woman i.e. both wenton vacation to a Zika endemic country with no plans to return?And the second portion of that question is,what is the definition of ongoing? (cdc.gov)
Infertility6
Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after at least one year of trying (or 6 months if the woman is over age 35). (medlineplus.gov)
Female infertility can result from age, physical problems, hormone problems, and lifestyle or environmental factors. (medlineplus.gov)

Considerations1

Tend1
Functional defects, like overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, tend to lead to recurrent infections. (nih.gov)
Sexually1
Recurrent urinary tract infections may be commonly seen in sexually active women without any identifiable structural abnormality or another predisposing condition. (nih.gov)
[10] In a study in the primary care setting, 53% of women aged more than 55 years, and 36% of younger women, reported a recurrence within 1 year. (nih.gov)
Identifiable1
Most healthy women with uncomplicated VVC have no identifiable precipitating factors. (cdc.gov)
Risk2
Sleep problems and risk of fibromyalgia: longitudinal data on an adult female population in Norway. (medscape.com)
These problems, coupled with the weakness of health systems, are at the root of the high maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa where 1 out of every 26 women is at risk of dying during childbirth compared to 1 woman out of every 7300 in developed countries. (who.int)

Episode1
An estimated 75% of women will have at least one episode of VVC, and 40%-45% will have two or more episodes. (cdc.gov)
Cultures1
If Candida cultures cannot be performed for these women, empiric treatment can be considered. (cdc.gov)
Physical3
Women need to be in a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being to be able to carry out their numerous responsibilities. (who.int)

Half1
Women not only account for over half of the population of countries in general, but they also invest their energy in families and communities, thus contributing to the wealth of nations. (who.int)
Patient1
Review the presentation of a patient with recurrent urinary tract infections. (nih.gov)
Result3
The diagnosis can be made in a woman who has signs and symptoms of vaginitis when either a wet preparation (saline, 10% KOH) of vaginal discharge demonstrates budding yeasts, hyphae, or pseudohyphae, or a culture or other test yields a positive result for a yeast species. (cdc.gov)
Examination of a wet mount with KOH preparation should be performed for all women with symptoms or signs of VVC, and women with a positive result should be treated. (cdc.gov)
Anatomical defects that lead to stasis, obstruction, urinary reflux all result in an increased predisposition to recurrent urinary tract infections. (nih.gov)
