I don't know if docs have considered it as they never mentioned it.I've
just found out on the web,in case of IC,tests don't show any signs of
organisms & that this problem does not respond to antibiotics.However in
my case,bacteria is always EColi and my symptoms disappear after taking
a course of antibotics.
I had UTI even after taking a shower before sex, so I don't know why the
bacteria is always EColi!
