There are some women who require either two rounds of antibiotics or an initial treatment in the hospital using intravenous therapy ? antibiotics delivered through an IV. For others the condition becomes chronic or recurrent when the infection either isn?t totally eradicated or the woman becomes infected again because of high risk behaviors.
