What Causes Vaginal Itching And Frequent Urge To Urinate After Intercourse?

As below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Yes I think it is a UTI and sometimes it does need antibiotics to cure it.
Antibiotics if taken when really necessary are not bad and the risks of not taking them are very bad.
Yes you can test and confirm the diagnosis instead of taking the antibiotics just like that.
Please get a urine routine microscopy that will tell how much infection is there.
Also a urine culture test to know what bacteria is causing it and what Antibiotic particularly will work against it.
Best to avoid sex till this is sorted out because sexual activity can worsen or spread it to the genital tract.
UTI can cause spotting too but if the spotting persists after the UTI is gone please get a Pap smear and pelvic ultrasound scan.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further

Detailed Answer:
A single dose of antibiotic is generally insufficient when the UTI is long standing and resistant to conventional treatment.
I usually prescribe extended course ( 3 - 5 days ) of antibiotics based on the culture and sensitivity report.
A UTI , if untreated, may get serious over weeks.
Yes, wait for 2 more days, no problem, just take lots of fluids.
Yes, steroids would have worsened a UTI, but do not worry, it can be managed.
It is not a dangerous or life threatening condition.
Take care, and keep me posted.

Detailed Answer:
There are no antibiotics that are 100 % effective.
Generally, Nitrofurantoin works against most of the strains, if you want to wish, you may start that until you receive the result.
Interstitial cystitis is a very rare condition.
A simple first time UTI rarely progresses to IC cystitis, in the absence of co morbid conditions.
Normal cystitis is bladder infection, IC cystitis is a chronic resistant condition.
Dont worry about IC cystitis.
Take care.
