A member asked:

Get checked again: Return to your provider and request a urine culture with sensitivities to definitively identify the bacteria and to treat it with an appropriate antibiotic. Be sure to take the complete course of antibiotics. Also, you may need a pelvic exam to rule out vaginal infections that may be contributing to your recurrent symptoms. Hope you feel better soon!
