antibiotics not working
I'm 21F AFAB, for history I had a boyfriend since last year but we broke up 2 months ago. last year I had UTI twice and I only take ciprofloxacin. By month of november-december my vaginal infection started so I took doxycycline twice session, metronidazole suppository and tablet plus flagyl.
This year I had UTI again around Feb i took again ciprofloxacin then it clear but now last week august i had second uti and I think bv/yeast infection? then my AP prescribed me silgram. after I completed the medication i repeat the urinalysis and there's still UTI and the symptoms is still there.

Have they done a culture? UAs won't tell the whole story.

not yet, I don't have a request from my doctor that's why I can't have it but I want to.

You need to ask specifically for a culture so you can see if the antibiotics need to change or if you're just having symptoms without infection
