Regarding Post UTI
Doctor, I had a UTI on July 27 that improved with medication but recurred 8–10 days later. Based on my urine culture, I took the prescribed treatment while traveling to Japan, but symptoms did not fully resolve; I completed the medication on August 24. After returning to India on September 1, my urine routine test on September 3 was normal, and subsequent tests were also normal. I still occasionally notice a urine odor, especially after 4–5 hours without urinating or sometimes in the morning. I also experience brief, mild pinching around the urinary area, which resolves within seconds after urination and is more noticeable after drinking several glasses of water quickly.

Normal urine tests after treatment are a good sign that the infection has cleared. Some irritation or a lingering odor can still continue for a few weeks after a UTI even when your urine tests are clear.
Next Steps
Keep drinking enough water through the day and try not to hold urine for long stretches, since both ease that kind of post infection irritation. If the pinching sensation or odor continues past another few weeks, please see a gynaecologist or urologist for a fresh evaluation.
Health Tips
Please don't feel you need to keep re-testing your urine every few days right now.
