doctor
Answered by Dr. Shoaib Khan (2 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Suspecting a urinary tract or renal tract abnormality now

Detailed Answer:
Hi sir.

With these symptoms, there is almost a direct indication towards either:

+Urinary tract infection: Symptoms are as follows

-Burning sensation while burning
-Increased frequency of urination
-Increased urge to pass urine, but nothing much passed
-Lower abdominal and/or lower back pain (not always)
-Abdominal discomfort
-Chills (not always)
-Fever (not always)

+Renal tract stones: With symptoms like-

-Pain around testicular region
-Lower back or mid back pain
-Burning sensation while urinating
-Increase frequency of urine passed
and a few others

I would recommend a doctors visit and a urine sample to be given at the earliest. But for now, drink plenty of fluids (3-4 litres of water). Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
