You should see a urologist to see if there is something more going on than a simple bladder infection. You could have an infected kidney stone, for example, that needs to be treated for the infection to resolve. You will likely need further testing to determine the cause of the continued symptoms and the positive culture. Good luck!

You should see a Urologist to find cause. In the meantime keep the area clean with soap and water, drink plenty of water, take some cranberry juice. Good luck
