Hi-
I am a 22 y/o female that has had chronic uti's and pyelo since childhood. I have had 7 kidney infections this year! I take 1 cipro for suprression after my husband and I have intercourse. I have had renal ultrasounds done and the findings are normal. I am pretty sure I have another kidney infection right now, but don't want to go into the doc. because I don't think he knows what else to do. I also have just started noticing that I am having a increase in body odor , and have tried every deodorant in the book. I am wondering if this has to do with my chronic kidney infections since they filter everything out?
Thank yous so much!

 Hello,I am sure you have had voiding cystograms to rule out a vesicouretral reflux(VUR).Anatomical abnormalities also could be a factor in recurrent infections and if so some authors recommend a endoscopic antireflux procedure in patients with anatomic defects even in the absence of VUR, with good results.Do consult a urologist for more details.I do not think the body odour is anything to do with the recurrent infections.Best wishes.
