Nine questions from Margaret Ellis, RN (Ret.)
Nine Questions About Your Recurring UTIs
There are no wrong answers here and nothing to score. I asked these same nine questions on the ward for years. Answer them the way you would answer a friend, and I will tell you which pattern yours is.

Most women who have had more than three infections have a pattern. Almost nobody has ever been asked the questions that would find it, because finding it takes longer than an appointment lasts.
It takes about ninety seconds. Nothing you answer is stored anywhere.
Your pattern
Whichever of the four you landed on, read this part twice: there is nothing in your answers about hygiene. Not one of these patterns is caused by how clean you are, what you wear, or how quickly you get up afterwards. I am sorry that you have probably been told otherwise.
