UTI symptoms recurring around the same time each month, even after antibiotics
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hey everyone,
I've had issues with UTI's/ UTI like symptoms for the past 3 months.
Around the same time each month since March this year, I have experienced your typical UTI symptoms - strong urge to urinate, burning during and after peeing, mild pelvic/bladder discomfort (and even blood in the urine for my "second" UTI in April). 2 weeks ago I experienced the same symptoms again, went to the doctor, was prescribed antibiotics (just like the previous two times) and this time they even did a urine culture - BUT, the culture was a 'negative' result, meaning there was no bacteria present - at least that's my understanding. The antibiotics always clear things up within a day or two, yet this keeps coming back around the same time each month - about 3-4 weeks after I finish the antibiotics!
Antibiotics that I have had are: Selexid and Furadantin.
I have tried everything from regularly drinking cranberry juice, taking cranberry supplements, peeing after sex and washing after sex, wiping front to back.... it goes on.
Now I am here two weeks after my last doctor's visit, experiencing the burning sensation after I pee and bladder/pelvic discomfort once again..... Going back to the doctor tomorrow to discuss the results of the culture!
I have no idea what is going wrong or what is causing the issues 😦
Google doctor does nothing but to stress me out, I am wondering now whether the real issue is a number of other diseases:
-an untreated yeast infection?
-painful bladder?
- interstitial cistitis?
