chronic UTI wont respond to antibiotics
Hi there, ive had a uti for about 3 months now. Ive never had issues before (except for one UTI last july, but it responded to nitrofurantoin) but it just wont go away. ive seen a urologist and been on antibiotics: nitrofurantoin, cephalexin, Metronidazole, and levofloxacin. I dont feel any better, but somehow i keep having negative urine cultures. the bacteria that has been detected in my urine test that i last had is ecoli, ureaplasma, and gardnerella. my boyfriend was treated for the ureaplasma (azithromycin), but we havent been having sex lately anyway because of my uti. im taking d mannose, probiotic+prebiotic, and cranberry everyday. I also was checked for kidney stones 2 months ago, none were detected then.
Im seriously at a loss and it is taking a toll on my mental health. im trying to get a second opinon/another doctor asap as my other one has just been dismissing me :/
i believe i have an imbedded infection, and have been curious about biofilm disrupters. I know i wont be cured asking questions here but i am just hoping for any advice if anyone has any. Thank you!
