[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clinics have definitely been cracking down on prescribing antibiotics for UTIs with the urine culture. This will be particularly true if you are a middle aged, or older, woman because you can have UTI symptoms that are not caused by bacteria. I have had a urine culture that came back negative. I both think it is responsible for providers to see the urine culture before giving out antibiotics, and I get how frustrating it is as the patient to be waiting for days to get relief.[/quote]

This.  I can't believe you wouldn't respect a provider being responsible.  I have chronic UTIs now (thank perimenopause).  So I got in, leave a sample, then head right to CVS to get some Uritstat.  It starts working really quickly and gives me pain relief.  Then I wait a day or maybe 2 for the culture to come back.  The reason we have to do this is because of patients like OP who is demanding antibiotics STAT.[/quote]

But it seems like op could not get her doctor to,do,a urine test for several days[/quote]
