I Was Diagnosed With A UTI On October 16, 2019.
Question: I was diagnosed with a UTI on October 16, 2019. I started to feel better- no more pain, but the urgency was still present. My dr. Switched me from
Bactrim to Cipro on 10/22. After several days, urgency still present so I went back to the doctor. That culture showed no infection, but the presence of red blood cells was still there. I was switched to Ceftin. I had some pain in my back but because the culture showed no infection, fever or chills, a kidney infection was ruled out. My dr ordered me an ultrasound, which I am having on 11/8. The urgency is still there. I feel like I have to urinate all of the time. Dr said maybe there was some inflammation and to wait it out. After 3 weeks of this I am exhausted. Is this normal? I can%E2%80%99t find any other reason for this sudden urgency other than infection. I%E2%80%99ve made an appointment with a urologist but I can%E2%80%99t get in until 11/26. I just want this to stop.
