Not a UTI? Irritable bladder maybe?

Any idea what this could be?
I was being treated for UTI's but the culture always comes back negative.
Every 6 weeks or so I'll have burning pain when I urinate. It's not severe, just uncomfortable. This pain will stay even when I'm not urinating and I just feel uncomfortable down there.
This is always accompanied by diarrhoea.
Within 12 hours of taking antibiotics the pain and symptoms are gone.
I have antibiotics I can take this time, but I'm just going to ride it out as I'm pretty sure the symptoms will go by themselves.
Any ideas?

Look into interstitial cystitis
Also sometimes infections at low levels don’t
Show up (one consultant i saw went into much greater detail with tests and found I had an embedded infection)
Good luck
