Sounds like a recurrent urinary infection. Since symptoms return after stopping antibiotics, a deeper cause like prostate or bladder issue may need evaluation. Please get a urine culture to identify exact bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity. Repeat infection may need longer treatment.

Hello doctor I am a 21 year old unmarried girl. Is there any blood or urine report that can prove a urinary tract infection is caused because of sex?

What is urine infection?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had a UTI two weeks back and took antibiotics (Nitrobact 100) as there was bleeding along with urine. From today morning, I have the same problem but without bleeding. My period is three days delayed, and there is a faint line on the urine pregnancy test. I drank a lot of water, and the symptoms have reduced a bit. Please tell me the reason for this, as I am scared. I am new to Mumbai and not aware of good hospitals. Please suggest a few urine tests to find out the reason for this? I am also planning to conceive.
