Unfortunately we know that some women are prone to them, we do not understand the full reasons WHY they happen and why some women get them all the time. There are theories such as "genetics" however we do not have a full understanding of the human DNA so we can not take a sample, string it out and look at it and say "Ah Ha! - there is the bit of code that needs to be fixed."

Of course you should write down the names of stuff you do fine BEFORE you buy them and ask your doctor his/her opinion on their effectiveness.

The Medical field is highly specialized now days simply because there is no way that one human being can know everything current and coming out each and every single day in medicine. It is possible that your current doctor just does not know of another treatment option, say a new one, or an "experimental" one.
