hi
im a sexually active 21 year old, i had a uti about 3 months ago and it took 3 different anti biotics to clear it. however my symptoms never fully left but there is no sign of infection in urine tests, i dont know if my body is just damaged after the infection or if it never went. i dont get pain when i wee, just mostly morning and night a bit of a shooting pain in my urethra
hope someone can help or has been through something similar?
thank you
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.
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
