Have any of you with recurring UTIs actually had a doctor do a culture to ensure that the antibiotic is the right one for the bacteria type? I've had two cases where I've been on X antibiotic for 2-3 days before the culture came in and then got switched to another because the first wouldn't have been fully effective. If they don't automatically order one, I ask for a culture on my initial visit to a doctor for a UTI so I don't have to go back multiple times to get it fixed.
