Brief Answer:
Uroculture is recommended

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I can't prescribe you metronidazole for UTI.
If you are having an UTI the best thing to do is to do an uroculture first and then take the right antibiotics indicated from it.
If you can't do an uroculture bactrim can be the first choice for empirical treatment.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
