'In diabetic patients and pregnant women, as well as in people with spinal paralysis, follow-up should include a urine culture at the completion of antibiotic therapy to ensure that bacteria are no longer present in the urine.'

When I was pregnant, my daughter was laying on my uturous (know that is wrong but all these medical words are beyond me!!) and I was always having UTI. The dr's were putting me on med's (low dosage) and monituring me, also drinking plenty of fluids help. I went on to have a healthy baby. I still suffer from UTI occasionally
