Hello,
I think you may need to repeat the uroculture because according to your symptoms you are having an infection.
Also you may need to do an ultrasound to check for possible kidney stones which may cause the pain, blood in urine and frequent infections.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
