Yes, it's happened to me twice. The first time they told me to go to the ER and they ran tests... found I was dehydrated and had a UTI. They kept me there and put me on IV fluids all day. Then 3 weeks later I had the UTI again and they put me on a different antibiotic. They did say that the dehydration is probably what led to the UTI.

Good luck, I hope you feel better soon.

So should I just keep pushing my fluids or necessary to go back to the dr

If you are in pain with UTI symptoms, then you need to get in to the doctor. Yes, keep pushing your fluids and they may need to get you hydrated, because once you are dehydrated, it is hard to get better on your own.

Make sure you keep that doctor's appointment.

So went back got another perception of antibiotics and another refill to take for after sex ..... and also learned one thing that my urine is very acidic I keep trying to hold it cause it burns... therefore making my problem worse...so hydrating is key period
