Hey,
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 😦

Hi Laura! So, if you took the antibiotics without having a urine test, it could be that your urinary tract infection is caused by a multidrug-resistant bacteria. When it comes to bacterial infections, it is extremely important to isolate, through analysis, which specific bacteria is causing the infection. This way, you can use the right antibiotic, avoiding prolonging the crisis and also avoiding making the bacteria present in your body even more resistant. Talk to a urologist or gynecologist about this.
