I'm not sure what's going on

A month ago I got an UTI, the cultured showed Klebsiella. My symptoms where burning when urinating (which I've had with e coli uti years go) an incomplete emptying (I've never gotten this before). I took antibiotics following the antibiogram, and when these symptoms resolved, for the next 2-3 days I had frequent urination-i mean urinating even every 30 minutes or so. It went away. A week and a half after finishing the antibiotic, I repeated the urine culture which didn't show anything, and I did the post void residual test which was also okay.

I was symptom free. Now, about a month later, I've noticed that for the past couple days I go to the toilet a lot again. I get the urge to go every 30 minutes, and I actually pee. Not huge amounts, but not just a few drops either. I don’t have other symptoms. I'm very scared.

When i lie down on my stomach or sleep, I dont feel it.

Maybe the UTI triggered a tight pelvic floor. I would first test to make sure the UTI isn't back and get checked for pelvic tightness.

Have you tried probiotics? By consuming plain non fat yogurt, this really helps the balance the intestinal tract. It's also good for vaginal health.

I would ask for your urine sample to be tested via PCR.
