What This Trial Is Studying

Chronic Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a type of UTI where symptoms are constant and occur every day, unlike recurrent UTIs, which come and go with symptom-free breaks in between. Current treatment for chronic UTI within the NHS is based on recommended guidelines for recurrent UTI.
