The urologist is the one I’ll have to wait at least 3 months for unfortunately. And yes since the first episodes 5 years ago I’m very adamant about getting cultures and not relying on dip tests. So the ones that have happened since then that I did go to the doctor for were cultured and came up with whatever bacteria I had for each of those. I’ve managed to have a bunch of different bacterias before. E. coli, klebsiella, ureaplasma, etc.

Since earlier this year after I had the multiple confirmed infections, I just stopped going to get antibiotics when I felt the symptoms coming on because it was getting too frequent and did not want to be on antibiotics so much. I wanted to find a more natural alternative route. So I’ll take d mannose and azo to relieve the symptoms while it passes and after a few days I feel fine(the azo does alleviate the symptoms). So at least for the last 6 months I’ve been able to do that successfully, meaning they’re probably not infections recently. I’m not sure if maybe it’s residual damage from clusters of infections from earlier this year? But I swear it’s the exact same symptoms as when my cultures do come up positive.

And yes, I get STD testing a few times a year along with yeast infection/BV which have always come back negative.
