I’ve had uti symptoms and went to the doctor for it…the tests came out as no uti/std. I’m not sure why this happens. I usually treat my symptoms as if the uti test came out positive.

At some point I had a bad UTI with klebsiella bacteria that wouldn't show on dipstick but would in the culture. Ask to have the urine cultured even if the dipstick is negative. If you've already done that, ask the Dr if it could be interstitial cystitis. GL.

I'm waiting on my culture to see. I have family history of IC , but my brain thinks cancer 😒

Yes! Nothing showed in a culture either. All the same symptoms but nothing to prove it :( Ended up going to a urologist and am still trying to figure it out. Wishing u healing and good luck 💕

I have a wave of uti symptoms (painfully peeing every 10 minutes, trouble peeing, etc) come and go and asked my doctor about it, she said sometimes the bladder just gets inflamed sometimes but it doesn't always mean it's infected. But she didn't explain WHY it would get inflamed like that.

I drink water constantly so my tests usually come back negative at first and then later once they run a culture, then it says positive. It's frustrating! But listen to your body
