A member asked:

Uti 2 weeks ago, took 1 week of antibiotics (microbid) and then 1 week later, uti symptoms returned. a urinalysis was negative. what could it be now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTI : If your doctor took a urine culture and the organism was sensitive to the antibiotic, you have a repeated source of infection (tampons, intercourse, urethral abnormalities, etc). Some utis, especially in women, can be due to other processes that don't respond to antibiotics (e.g., malakoplakia). It is best to follow up with your doctor and/ or consult a specialist - a urologist, if you haven't.
