Not a UTI or STD??
Ok so Ive had very painful urination recently. A lot of pressure, cloudy urine. Frequent, but not overbearingly frequent. I went to the doctors to get some antibiotics, because I was sure it was a UTI. ended up not being one, she called today and said it wasnt a UTI OR chclamydia or gonorhhea. what else could it possibly be? Please help. thanks!

They might. Usually they just do a dipstick which is a quick look for blood or bacteria. A culture is when they send it to the lab to see if anything grows that the dipstick didn't find. They should also check your urine under a microscope to see if you have any white blood cells present.
You should call and ask. If they didn't do that, they need to.
