UTI symptoms for more then a year is surely an alarming sign can be either due to non compliance of the earlier prescribed medicine get some investigation done Urine culture Routine urine USG KUB that can help in concluding the diagnosis and please be compliant with the medicine as i highly suspect antibiotic resistance
A chronic urinary tract infection (UTI) lasting 1 year with symptoms like flank pain, testicular discomfort, weakness, and foamy urine suggests a complicated or resistant infection, kidney involvement, or another underlying issue. Since multiple antibiotics haven’t helped, you need a Urologist consultation urgently for urine culture, kidney function tests, and possibly imaging (ultrasound/CT) to identify the exact cause and guide targeted treatment. Avoid self-medicating further, stay hydrated, and seek specialist care promptly to prevent kidney damage.
Hello dear See as per clinical history it seems either reoccurrence with incomplete elemination of infection or post operative complications. I suggest you to please get following tests done for confirmation Urine analysis Urine culture Pcr if recommended Scrotum USG CBC Rft Lft Serum ferritin Serum testosterone Serum androgen Kindly USG Please share the results of reports with urologist or nephrologist in person for better clarification Kindly don’t take any medications without consulting the concerned doctor as chances of spreading of infection are always there Regards

It seems like you’re describing symptoms that could be linked to a chronic or persistent urinary tract infection (UTI), or there might be other underlying conditions contributing to these symptoms. If antibiotics haven’t provided relief after a year, it’s important to reassess the situation. Flank pain, testicular discomfort, and groin heaviness can sometimes suggest a more involved infection, like pyelonephritis (kidney infection) or a condition affecting the reproductive or urinary systems, such as prostatitis or epididymitis. Foamy urine can occasionally indicate proteinuria, possibly related to kidney concerns, which would need further evaluation. Considering the history and symptoms you’ve described, further diagnostic testing might be warranted to clarify your condition. A urine culture can help identify any resistant bacteria not yet targeted by your previous antibiotics. Imaging studies, like an ultrasound or CT scan, can provide additional insights into structural issues or complications. Blood tests might also be helpful to check kidney function and for any signs of other systemic conditions. In situations where infections are recurrent or chronic, an evaluation for anatomical or functional abnormalities in the urinary tract might be necessary. Additionally, certain lifestyle changes such as staying adequately hydrated, urinating regularly, and maintaining good hygiene can help prevent recurrent infections. However, with the symptoms persisting, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider, possibly a urologist, for further evaluation and a tailored treatment plan. In some cases, referral to a nephrologist might be appropriate if kidney involvement is suspected. Also, discussing all current and past medications with your doctor will help exclude non-infective causes or complications related to medication use. Don’t delay in seeking medical advice to ensure any potentially serious conditions are addressed promptly.
