UTI Treatment in Ahmedabad — Expert Urinary Tract Infection Clinic by Dr. Prarthan Joshi
Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections in both men and women — and one of the most frequently undertreated when recurring. A single UTI treated with a course of antibiotics is one thing. Three or more UTIs in a year is a pattern that demands investigation, not just another prescription. At Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Dr. Prarthan Joshi — M.S., M.Ch. (Urology) — offers expert UTI treatment in Ahmedabad for both acute infections and the complex underlying causes that drive recurrence.
What is a UTI?
A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria — most commonly E. coli — colonise the urinary tract. Infections can affect the bladder (cystitis), the urethra (urethritis), or — more seriously — the kidney (pyelonephritis). Each location requires a different level of treatment urgency and antibiotic approach.
Symptoms of UTI
- Burning or stinging during urination
- Frequent urgent need to urinate with small volumes passed
- Cloudy, dark, or foul-smelling urine
- Lower abdominal discomfort or pressure
- Fever, back or flank pain and vomiting — suggesting kidney involvement
- Blood in the urine (haematuria)
Recurrent UTI — When Antibiotics Are Not Enough
If you are experiencing three or more UTIs per year, there is almost always an underlying cause that has not been identified. Common drivers of recurrent UTI include: incomplete bladder emptying from BPH or urethral stricture, bladder stones acting as bacterial reservoirs, anatomical abnormalities, antibiotic resistance, and in women, post-menopausal hormonal changes affecting urethral defence.
Dr. Prarthan Joshi performs a structured evaluation for recurrent UTI — including urine culture and sensitivity, renal and bladder ultrasound, post-void residual measurement, and cystoscopy where indicated — to identify and address the root cause rather than simply repeating antibiotic courses.
Related Conditions
Recurrent UTIs are frequently linked to other urological conditions that benefit from specialist evaluation: kidney stones acting as a bacterial focus, frequent urination from overactive bladder, and urinary retention leading to stagnant residual urine. Patients experiencing nocturia alongside recurrent UTIs should also have a full urodynamic assessment.

Do not accept recurrent UTIs as inevitable. Expert evaluation identifies the cause — and targeted treatment breaks the cycle.
