Feels like a UTI but test is negative
At least once a year I get symptoms of a UTI but the tests are negative. This time the test shows nitrates but the other parts of negative. I’ve been on nitrofurin five days and don’t feel a lot better. I don’t have burning when I urinate but I have pelvic and low back pain, lightheadedness, and just don’t feel great.Anyone else had a similar experience? I have a history of UTIs.

I had UTI symptoms over more than one year. My doctor was good and prescribed meds for me to ease the pain. She sent samples for culture, and every time it was negative for UTI. She sent me to a urogynecologist for every imaginable type of testing (lots of catheters) and finally sent me for a pelvic/vaginal ultrasound. Turns out I had a tumor in my endometrial lining. Low grade cancer. I'm glad I had the warning signs, but it was a long journey to get to the root of it all.
Hi I’ve been feeling uti symptoms lately too ever since I finished treatment for chlamydia. It’s been over 2 weeks now but I keep having on and off shooting pelvic pain and when I urinate. I also have to go frequently like every 20 min. I’m not sure if this is still the chlamydia or how long this lasts. Let me know if u find anything else. (You should get tested for an sti just in case because chlamydia and uti have the same symptoms).
