Overview
The Ghodbunder Road residential belt has a specific UTI problem: young women in high-rise apartments and working professionals who manage UTI symptoms with pharmacy antibiotics — sometimes without a prescription — for months before seeking specialist help.Read moreShow less
By the time many of them attend a clinic, they have had multiple different antibiotics and created resistance patterns that make treatment more complex. Mercurrey Hospital at the Kapurbawdi junction provides Ghodbunder Road and Majiwada residents with a specialist option that addresses this properly. HRG Urology at this Kapurbawdi location offers urine culture-guided treatment, imaging for structural causes, and cystoscopy for persistent or recurrent cases — the investigative framework that breaks the antibiotic cycle — at ₹1,000 per consultation.
What to know
UTI Treatment at Mercurrey Hospital, Kapurbawdi
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused most commonly by E.Read moreShow less
coli entering the urethra. Recurrent UTIs — three or more per year — require urine culture and sensitivity testing, ultrasound, and cystoscopy to identify structural causes. Culture-guided antibiotics prevent resistance. UTIs in men always require urological investigation. Complicated UTIs involving kidneys present with fever, flank pain, and require prompt specialist management.
The Ghodbunder Road UTI Patient — Why Pharmacy Self-Treatment Fails
High-rise residential complexes along Ghodbunder Road from Kapurbawdi to Brahmand contain a young, educated, self-reliant population who access pharmacy antibiotics for UTI without prescription — a widespread practice in India that is producing predictable resistance.Read moreShow less
When these patients present to HRG Urology at Mercurrey Hospital, their infection history often reveals multiple different antibiotics used across multiple episodes without a single urine culture ever having guided the choice. The result: a bacterial population selected for resistance to the most commonly used agents. Culture with extended sensitivity panels identifies the remaining susceptible antibiotics and provides the basis for a managed prophylaxis programme.
UTI and Kidney Stone Co-Presentation at Kapurbawdi
A significant subset of patients presenting to Mercurrey Hospital with recurrent UTI have an underlying kidney stone that acts as a nidus for infection — bacteria colonise the stone's surface and reseed the bladder repeatedly despite antibiotic clearance.Read moreShow less
This co-presentation is identified by CT KUB, not ultrasound alone. At Mercurrey Hospital, any recurrent UTI patient without a clear structural explanation receives CT KUB as part of the investigation pathway — specifically to exclude stone-related recurrence.

I've been using pharmacy antibiotics for UTI without a prescription — is this harmful?
Pharmacy antibiotic use without culture testing causes two problems: first, you may be taking an antibiotic to which your specific bacteria are resistant, meaning the infection is not being properly treated; second, repeated antibiotic exposure without proper indication selects for resistant bacterial strains. At HRG Urology Mercurrey Hospital, urine culture is performed before prescribing any antibiotic for recurrent UTI — this is the single most important step in breaking the resistance cycle.
Can kidney stones cause recurrent UTIs, and how is this diagnosed?
Yes. Bacteria colonise the surface of kidney stones, creating a biofilm that continuously reseeds the bladder even after antibiotic treatment appears to clear the infection. This pattern — recurrent UTI caused by a stone nidus — is only identifiable by CT KUB imaging, which can visualise stones that ultrasound misses. At Mercurrey Hospital, CT KUB is arranged for recurrent UTI patients who have not responded to standard antibiotic management.
What is a UTI prophylaxis programme and how does it work?
UTI prophylaxis involves taking a low-dose antibiotic continuously or post-coitally (after sexual intercourse, which is the trigger for many women's recurrent UTIs) to prevent bacterial colonisation of the bladder. Common prophylaxis regimens include nitrofurantoin 50mg at night or trimethoprim 100mg at night for 3–6 months. The choice of drug is guided by previous urine culture sensitivity results. Dr. Godbole's team at Mercurrey Hospital selects, initiates, and monitors UTI prophylaxis programmes with regular review.
My UTI is not responding to the antibiotic prescribed — what should I do?
If your UTI symptoms have not improved within 48–72 hours of starting an antibiotic, the most likely explanation is that the causative bacteria are resistant to that drug. You should contact HRG Urology at Mercurrey Hospital (+91 88280 71522) to arrange a urine culture — which will identify the correct antibiotic. Do not continue taking an ineffective antibiotic beyond this point, and do not switch to a different antibiotic without culture guidance. If you develop fever, back pain, or vomiting alongside UTI symptoms, seek emergency care immediately.
