I think I may have an ovarian cysts

About 3 weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with the incessant need to pee. I thought it was UTI at first but after 2 rounds of antibiotics, it's still there. I noticed that it only occurs if I am laying on my right side. Last week, I had my period and other than experiencing some lower back pain, it was normal. All my urinating urgency went away during my period but now that I'm almost over my period, the urgency to urinate is back. It doesn't seem to matter now how I lay down, I just have this frequent urge to pee. I am saving up to afford an ultrasound but I am 90% sure this is an ovarian cyst. I sincerely hope it is not something that will require a surgery. I do not have much money at all, I am self-employed and I do not have any health insurance. I just spent most of everything I had on a new condo and I was not expecting this sudden deterioration in health.

I've had chronic UTI the past year so I usually get on antibiotics when it "attacks". The thing is, the frequent urge to pee only happened when I was laying on my right side. There is absolutely no pain except for that time when I was about to get my period and I had some lower back discomfort.

Which direction do you wipe?  It could be you reinfected yourself by pushing more bacteria up your urethra if you wipe back to front.

When you've gotten antibiotics, did they actually test for a UTI or just listen to symptoms and prescribe something?
