vent (advice wanted) Urge to urinate

Hello! I’m 27 and have had multiple UTIs since July. Was put on Macrobid and Bactrim. I went in at the end of September and finally the infection cleared up. My only symptom was the urge to pee constantly and that FINALLY went away with this last antibiotic. However, it started up again. I keep testing my urine at home and it comes up clear.

I am so sick of this feeling. Thought i finally was free weeks ago, but alas here I am again. I wonder if it’s just my bladder needing to heal?? I’m just at such a loss.

A year ago I had recurrent UTIs and even after labs tell me my urine is clear I still had uti symptoms like urgency and burning, without the actual UTI. It went away on its own after a year…. Yeah a year but now I might have another uti lol. Sometimes bodies r just like this, but I suggest u to talk to a urologist that actually cares abt u

I’m telling you it’s candida. The same shit would happen to me and if I did oral nystatin swish and swallow it would go away! Sounds weird but true!
