What Causes Sudden Onset Of Burning Sensation During Urination?

default
Posted on Fri, 28 Aug 2015
Question: Hello,
last week i experienced sudden burning after late afternoon urination. After this exact instance, the burning sensation was escalating with having constant urge to go again and again. I was feeling extreme burning during and after urrination. My urine also turned pinky colour. I kept drinking water, glass after glass, cold- pressed cranberry juice with Apple cider vinegar.. All that could ease the pain. After 2-3 hours the pain started to dissapear untill I no longer felt a thing.
Now, week later i am experiencing similar problem. Could this be sign of something serious? Kidney stones? UTI? Perhaps pregnant?
Thank you very much in advance for your valuable input.

Hello Dr XXXXXXX

Thank you very much for your answer.
To answer your question, yes. And if worth to mention I am in my ovulation time, tryuing to concieve.
Now is it possible that the burning just comes and goes when UTI?
I had experienced UTI's previously and was treated with antibiotics, but had never had symptoms such as burning that appears and dissapears. Last week I was perfectly fine, with no fever, no pain, no more burning. Yesterday The burning started again for 2 hours and then again disapeared , now I am feeling ok again.

Thank you again for your valuable words
Regards,
XXXX
