You are seeing a 59-year-old-woman in your clinic, with symptoms of recurrent cystitis. The patient reports recurrent dysuria, frequency and haematuria every 2–3 months; this is extremely bothersome to her. Urine cultures during these episodes have been consistent with UTIs, and her symptoms have responded promptly to short-course antibiotic treatment. The patient’s past medical history, a review of systems and a physical examination are otherwise not contributory.
