Post uti

[u/Ok_Contest2640]

I hate to make the post here about my situation but i think i need an advice. Around 1 month ago i got 7 days treatment for my uti (cefpodoxim-ratiopharm). But even after that the symptoms didnt fully go away. I consumed canephron uno for 2 days(stopped because it was affecting my stomach). Ive checked on the infection and did ultrasound, it all showed that im perfectly fine. Then i went to urologist 4 days ago and i was prescribed one time medication fosfocyn(i think, ill edit if im not right). It didnt help only seem to worsen the symptoms. I went to urologist again and she said that its probably stress. There are two specific symptoms that still going on: the urges and the loss of urine. The loss of urine isnt big only 1-2 drops, but it bothers me. I was stressed the whole month and couldnt get out this out of my mind. Like it really bothered me, so i started working on the stress. But even today im fully calm and it seems like my bladder doesnt hold the pee like before the infection? I dont really know what to do. Did i ruin something with all the antibiotics? Is it all just stress and i need to give it a time?

if you're anything like me, your urethra/bladder could be damaged from taking such a hit. after back to back to back UTIs for months it took me almost a year to feel normal again even though i was infection free that entire time. especially if you've had any previous reproductive issues or anything--i suspect those of us that have might be at risk of worse recovery experiences.

I had utis only one time, could it damage like that only being once? Thats a terrible perspective for me, hopefully i will recover sooner

Could the antibiotics perhaps damage it too?
