Chronic UTIs and lingering symptoms

Hi! I’m new to the app and found this thread. I have suffered chronic UTIs (7+ a year) since 2016, and recently landed myself in the hospital for severe urosepsis that had spread to my bladder, kidneys, and liver. It has been a few months since my last hospitalization for the infection (which lasted in whole, 2 months and 3 hospitalizations) and am still experiencing urgency and pain with urination. I was given Levofloxain 750 on discharge, and my recent urinalysis has been clear. Has anyone else experienced something like that following a serious UTI? Or could the lingering symptoms just be due to damage from the infection? Any advice?

Lingering symptoms are usually an indication that the antibiotic course was not long enough and the infection isn’t fully cleared.

You might also need a different antibiotic

Even if your test comes back negative
