IMAGING
Recurrent UTI’s

cystoscopy
(Mayoclinic, 2020)
The urinary tract is usually a
sterile environment due to the
complete emptying of the
bladder, urine acidity, the
vesicoureteral valve, and
various immunologic and
mucosal barriers. A Urinary
tract infection occurs when
bacteria begins to accumulate,
there is an imbalance in
acidity, or bacteria enters the
urethra from an outside source
