Resistance suspected: Some germs 'don't respond' to an empiric course of antibiotics. You need proper evaluation with a urinary culture. That will give a 'road map' for what antibiotics can be used... Sometimes there's more to a male UTI compared to a female urinary infection. The anatomy is different (of course) and there could be other factors. If your primary doc can't handle it, you may need a urologist.

Get a urine culture: Treating bladder symptoms empirically (best guess) without getting a urine culture often results in an ineffective treatment. There are many resistant bacteria currently. Urine culture identifies the bacteria and the antibiotics that kills it
