Burning when urinating for 5 years

Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone give me any advice please? In 2017 i got with my boyfriend, we had sex for the first time and i got a UTI which did not go away for 9 months, i was on antibiotics everyday for 9 months. The UTI finally went away but 5 years on i still experience burning when urinating and sometimes even when i'm not. I have to drink so much water everyday for it to not burn. I have had UTI's since which have only lasted a few days - a week then gone away with antibiotics. I have been tested for STD's which all came back negative, my boyfriend showers before sex and wears a condom and i shower & wee before and after too. I have taken BV pessaries in the past which have given me some relief but the burning still comes back. I don't really have any other symptoms apart from pain when weeing. Could my bladder/urethra somehow be damaged from 5 years ago? could the antibiotics have caused an imbalance in bacteria? I forgot to mention that my diet is really healthy, i drink loads of water, eat minimal sugar, i take a probiotic & cranberry supplements. Before 2017 I never got UTI's nor did i ever experience burning or any vaginal problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance
