Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that you may have a urinary tract infection.

A urinary tract infection may involve any area of the urinary tract. This includes the ureter, the urethra, the kidneys, the bladder.
One or more areas may be involved.

Urinary tract infections are more common in women than men.

This can be confirmed by a visit to your doctor. An in office urine analysis can be done, your doctor may also opt to send urine to the lab as well.

Treatment involves: (a) using a lot of fluids unless you have illnesses that would stop this (eg heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease)

(b)antibiotics

I hope this helps,feel free to ask any other questions
