In patient profile you have mentioned your gender to be male
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.
My earlier answer was based on your gender to be male as mentioned in patient profile .
In view of your clarification I thing your symptoms are mainly due to Cystitis (Infection of the bladder.).
I would like you to consult qualified Urologist and get endoscopic examination of bladder (Cystoscopy) done to establish diagnosis.
In the mean while continue taking drugs which I have suggested earlier.
Thanks and Regards.
