Hi @dulcinea14 A recurring, or in your case, ongoing/chronic UTI is awful. My advice to you is to find another urologist. You’ve had this 2 months and that is not enough time to have explored all the options.
Sometimes the normal regimen of antibiotics don’t do the trick and a long term program needs to be in place.

Have you had a 5 day culture run to see what bacteria is involved? That can’t be determined with a rapid test and is even missed during 3 day cultures.
Have you had a cystoscope procedure to see inside your bladder and urinary tract or a CT scan or MRI to check in your kidneys?

Do you have a lot of pain in your back with this or a fever?
