I don’t know what to do now
I went into the walk in clinic with uti symptoms a little over a month ago now. The doctor said that I was positive for leukocytes and nitrites in my urine and prescribed me 7 days of macrobid. I had a uti 6 months before this in which I was prescribed macrobid and it did not treat the infection. I ended up getting a rocephin injection which cured the infection.
I checked my portal a few days later to see if I was getting a culture result in which it showed that there was some error with my urine sample and a culture was not performed. I finish the 7 days with no improvement in symptoms. I contact my gynecologist and she tells me to come leave another sample. The urinalysis of that sample comes back normal other than some white blood cells and micro blood in urine. I request a culture again because i’ve been waiting several weeks with a uti at this point and i am having to fight to have a culture done and my doctor said that nothing “screams uti” to her. Once I finally get the culture back it shows no sign of bacteria although I have daily burning and urgency. Holding my pee makes it so much worse, and I drink a lot of water every day to mask the symptoms and dilute my urine. I am trying to see a urologist but all of them near me have bad reviews and my doctor is trying to make me get a 700 dollar out of pocket ct urogram which is insane. I feel lost.
