Urination 15 times during the daytime with only 1â2 episodes at night, especially with good urine quantity and repeatedly negative urine cultures, is less suggestive of a recurrent UTI. In a 25-year-old, possibilities include bladder overactivity/urgency, excessive fluid or caffeine intake, habitual frequent voiding, anxiety/stress,
diabetes-related increased urine production, or less commonly bladder/urethral dysfunction. A normal urine report does not by itself identify the cause; current guidelines recommend assessing the pattern of frequency, urgency, fluid intake and voided volumes rather than simply treating with antibiotics.
I would not recommend starting a medicine blindly. If the urine volumes are small each time and there is urgency, an overactive/irritable bladder is one possibility. If the volumes are genuinely large each time, the approach is different and excessive urine production needs to be considered.
Next Steps
For the next 3 days, maintain a bladder diaryârecord the time and approximate quantity of every urination, fluid intake, caffeine/tea/coffee, urgency, and whether you wake from sleep to urinate. This is specifically recommended for evaluating urinary frequency and helps distinguish frequent small-volume voiding from excessive urine production. Also review whether there is burning, urgency, weak stream, difficulty starting, feeling of incomplete emptying, excessive thirst, constipation, anxiety/stress or excessive tea/coffee intake. If symptoms remain persistent, a urological evaluation including assessment of post-void residual and urinary flow can help identify bladder-emptying problems before selecting medication.

Health Tips
Reduce tea, coffee, energy drinks, cola and other caffeinated beverages, particularly later in the day. Don't deliberately drink excessive water and don't repeatedly urinate âjust in case,â as this can reinforce frequent-voiding habits. Try gradually extending the interval between urinations when comfortable, without holding urine to the point of pain. Manage constipation and stress if present. Avoid self-starting antibiotics or bladder medicines, since three negative cultures make repeated antibiotic treatment inappropriate without another indication. If there is blood in urine, fever, severe pelvic/flank pain, inability to pass urine, marked thirst with very large urine volumes, or rapidly worsening symptoms, seek medical evaluation promptly.
