Chronic urinary tract infection
— investigation in Oslo and Trondheim.
Both women and men suffer from repeated urinary tract infections without a good explanation as to why. We look for underlying causes and create a plan to break the pattern — not just treat individual infections.

An investigation is appropriate if you experience:
Common causes
Common causes of chronic urinary tract infection
Anatomical conditions
Shorter urethras in women make it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. In some people, structural conditions in the urinary tract can make infections more difficult to avoid.
Hormonal changes
Lower estrogen levels after menopause make the lining of the urinary tract thinner and more vulnerable to bacteria. This is a common and treatable cause of recurrent infections.
Bacteria that are hard to get rid of
Some strains of bacteria stick to the bladder wall and form biofilms, which make them resistant to antibiotics. A regular urine test does not always detect this.
Impaired immune system
Conditions or medications that affect the immune system can reduce the body's ability to fight bacteria in the urinary tract. A thorough evaluation will reveal whether this may be the case.
Hygiene factors
Hygiene routines in the intimate area can both prevent and trigger urinary tract infections. Factors such as toilet habits, choice of underwear and sexual activity can affect the risk and should be considered as part of the assessment.
Incomplete bladder emptying
If the bladder is not completely emptied during urination, residual urine can become a breeding ground for bacteria. This may be due to anatomical conditions, muscle weakness, or other underlying causes that the urologist will investigate further.
