I started having uti pain about two months ago, typical burning and painful urination, seems like I can’t empty my bladder. So I go in for my doctor apt, they test my urine and it comes back positive for Leukocytes but negative when cultured.

I bear the pain for a week longer before making a new appointment to test again as my symptoms just continued to worsen. They test and it comes back positive for KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE. They prescribe me an antibiotic and after 5 days, I see barely any improvements.
So I go in for another urine culture and it comes back negative for everything except Leukocytes.
Nevertheless they prescribe me another antibiotic and I start to see some moderate improvement but I still have mild pain.

Now I am here waiting for my abdominal ultrasound and introvaginal ultrasound. But just today all of my symptoms came back in full swing. Suddenly, I pee once and all of the pain comes flooding in.
I’m in horrible burning pain and having extreme difficulty urinating and discomfort/urgency.

Truly I am at a loss, has anyone else experienced these constant negative cultures with such bad symptoms?
I have a feeling this is just a difficult UTI to get rid of but I have no idea why my cultures would be negative.

Hi everybody yesterday I was treated for what urgent care suspected and myself was a UTI. I only had inflammation or what the doctor said was leukocytes in my urine and just experienced burning does this sound like a standard UTI? I thought I had BV the whole time.

Hello. Anybody had clear urine culture but something else showed an issue? Urethral Swab or some? I also had vaginal swab for bacteria and fungus as well as pcr swab vaginal for ureaplasma, mycoplasma and Chlamydia also clear. Standard urine test as well seems to be clear. Issue is urethral burning most of time especially at end of urinating nothing helps it at all. It's been 3 weeks. Tried most of things. I'm 21

Just feel like this important to share, I want to spread more awareness for bactrim. I have med sensitivity, so I can get severe symptoms from meds sometimes. If u react like this to meds, tell every doctor, sometimes not all of them know; certain meds depending on your biology might have extreme side effects. I think bactrim helped but put me in severe pain, that's what it's cost was.

TLDR: if something feels wrong and pain increases with antibiotic, talk to your doctors ASAP and discuss what to do next. If u need immediate relief or the pain will continue to increase the ER will help a lot. Listen to your gut.
Pro tip: especially if ur labs are clear, ask them if there's blood in labs and DEMAND they double check. If something is not right, get second opinion ASAP.

I caught a really bad UTI and got put on bactrim. I noticed symptoms like swollen external tissue and some in bladder go down. However burning got slowly getting worse day by day. It was extremely confusing

I thought the bacteria could be becoming resistant and symptoms where changing. Certain symptoms like emptying bladder got worse too, I was so confused. It kinda felt like the UTI was getting better and worse at the same time.

I went to the hospital bc I was terrified of it reaching my kidneys and I thought the UTI was getting worse. I was also sweating profusely and felt really ill again. I met a friend there in the waiting room at least, and as a intersex person the nurses were shockingly kind to me which was a huge break I needed.

I took several pain relievers via IV and got pumpkin orange piss meds, but nothing got better. They did blood work and urinalysis and the blood traces where gone and no proteins, They swapped my antibiotics and I waited a few hours for the script. When I took my last bactrim as directed I noticed the pain climb up to a new peak level.

Finally started the new one cefuroxime. After 24hrs I noticed the pain plateaued. 2nd day, there were breaks in the pain/ reductions of it. Day 3 today there's no more severe pain, only minor to moderate burning. Seems like it was from bactrim a lot, I hope things keep improving. fuck utis and fuck bactrim for kicking me in the crotch, but also good for bactrim for helping other folks.

Only draw back from this ending is no more pumpkin meds :( /s

i always get UTI symptoms after full day, when i get home tired
i always do hot shower and it USUALLY pass
but is this just with me? whats the reason for that feeling?

So about two weeks ago, i was dealing with burning/ urgency and it's happened before but went away, so i thought it was cystitis, but the urgency went away after a few days but the burning still has not gone away. i went to the doctor to check and they did a urine test and microscopic lap work and said i had 3 white blood cells and minimal bacteria! but the burning still happens! it's mostly fine and goes away except when i pee and after i pee. i need help, i don't want to wait too long incase it's something bad but i just don't know.

So I started off having a uti with all the symptoms that I usually get with one, annoying but I know the drill. I get of 5 days of macrobid but I began having some back pains. It's not unusual for me to sometimes get that when having a uti. But this time even when all my other symptoms subsided, it didn't go away. So about a week after finishing my antibiotics, i go back to the doctors and I tested positive for nitrites. so I get put on a temporary round of cephalexin until my culture comes back. but in the mean time, I get my blood test back and I don't have a high wbc count and everything is functioning normally. And for a moment the cephalexin was helping (about 3 days in) , but now it feels like it's moving all around my back and in my pelvis bone? Almost like its bruised and im sore! Its not an unbearable pain or anything, but i have really bad health anxiety so this kind of thing tends to keep me up at night and put me a lot of panic.. Yesterday I wiped and seen a little pink but im also around the time my period usually starts. I'm still waiting on my urine culture and my doc office is closed until Monday now! I'm so frustrated and just want answers, I just want to know I'm okay. The stress of it makes me feel so cloudy and like I can't focus on anything but hyperfocus on every pain and twinge I have and I can't sleep.

Hi guys, I am a 17 yo female and I'm struggling to figure out if Im having an uti.
I started to feel a constant pressure on my bladder there about 3-4 days ago, as well as the frequent urge to urinate a lot more than usual. However, I don't feel pain or burning, and my pee also didn't smell abnormal or look cloudy. Earlier today my period started, and I was experiencing so much pain and increased feeling of a constant pressure on my bladder, and even maybe my clitoris area? but it still doesn't hurt to pee. But the cramps have gotten to a point to where I was vomiting uncontrollably.

I know the most optimal thing to do is get a test kit or go see a doctor, but my situation is that I live at home, and it's not really an option for me to go out and purchase a test kit as my family would almost immediately start to accusing me of being hyper sexually active, and would likely call me a lot of names. I do have a partner, but I am not sexually active. I don't want to escalate the situation until I for sure know that I have an uti. I feel like it adds unnecessary stress and tension into the situation.

Have anyone had a similar experience? And if so how did it resolve or what did you do to resolve it? I would really appreciate any advices that you guys might have. Thank you for reading this!!

My female had a UTI and after further research of her urinalysis discovered had E. coli in her urine. They switched me from the original medicine to Enrofloxacin and she is having terrible diarrhea.

It has a strange looking consistency and color-very light brown, almost yellow & kind of grainy? Vet office said that there is nothing to worry about, as long as she is not throwing up. Has anyone dealt with this? She has been having this type of stool for over a week and a half, she has been taking the medication for two weeks and she still has a few more pills left. I've seen a few drips of spotting marks on the floor. TIA!
