You may want to make sure there is not a urethral problem. I would push to see a urologist and ask that you be examined. Don't just let them tell you you have a infection and take antibotics. A good urologist would scope you to rule out cancer. good luck!
You might have Interstitual Cystitis. I have that. I always had symptoms of a UTI...I would take antibiotics and with in a week the symptoms would return....I finally got to a Uroligist and found out I have Cystisis. It's an inflammatory disorder of the bladder wall....it can cause UTI symptoms, bladder and abdominal cramping, fatigue ..all kinds of stuff. I'm on Elmiron and it helps quite a bit....You need to go to a dr. and get an actual culture done while symptoms are present. I t may just be that your immune systom has built a defense to the antibiotics you are on.....and if the culture comes back clean...then I would go see a Uroligist.
By the sounds of it it could be a bit of cystitis have you been tested for IC in other words interstitial cystitis which is cystitis that you cant get rid of with antibiotics and is helped with a specific IC diet. If it not that then I would go back to the doctor because you could be havng re occuring UTIs which quite often happen. I wish you all the best with everything.
