Interesting. If nothing grew out on the culture then they probably weren't UTIs. This mystery certainly warrants further work-up.

Other possible causes of UTI-like symptoms include STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, and/or herpes), vaginal infections, schistosomiasis (a parasite you might pick up with foreign travel), and interstitial cystitis (non-infectious inflammation of the urinary tract).

You're on the right track in consulting with the urologist. Until the diagnosis is known, any discussion of treatment - conventional, naturopathic, or otherwise - is premature.

I see. A difficult trade-off. Still, probably better to look for a different approach.

I appreciate your passionate skepticism about the topic of homeopathy. I have to admit that it is difficult for me to address your perception of homeopathic medicine because I don't see it being used in the ways you describe. It is not a panacea. No treatment is. All treatment approaches have the potential to cause harm if misapplied. Tylenol when used as directed kills orders of magnitude more people per year than homeopathy does. Perhaps your venom toward homeopathy and it's dearth of scientific evidence is misdirected?

I learned early on in my medical career that I have to be OK with the fact that there are a lot of things in medicine and nature that we can't explain. I approach that reality with humility and open-mindedness in hopes of learning more every day.
