Brief Answer:
Possible Yeast Infection and or Urinary Tract Infection

Detailed Answer:
It is possible you sustained either Candidiasis (a fungal infection), STD from previous sexual contact (regardless of time elapsed) and or another Urinary Tract Infection. I cannot see exactly what you are describing, however the symptoms you describe lead me to believe this. The good news is this is very likely treatable, however requires a visit to the physician if you are hoping for definitive treatment with antibiotics.

Brief Answer:
Recommended Consult with OBGYN

Detailed Answer:
To obtain treatment and a more definitive answer, one would really need to perform a physical examination. I highly suggest you make an appointment to an OBGYN as they could better assess your condition for treatment. As you are a younger individual, it would be worthwhile to set up a relationship with a physician group as to follow for your women's health examinations. They would be very useful in these regards. I wish you the best and hope your condition improves.

Brief Answer:
Good Luck

Detailed Answer:
Yes, generally, a culture helps determine exactly what type of bacteria you are dealing with. Some physicians may treat empirically (That means an antibiotic that covers most bacteria) but I understand her wanting to be more specific. Nonetheless, I am glad you got checked out, a physical exam can only tell you definitively what is occurring; and in regards to treatment; prescriptions via this service are not available. You did the right thing; I believe you will soon start feeling improvement. In the meantime I suggest adequate if not more hydration than usual to flush any toxins or bacteria out of your system as much as possible.
