Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Yes it could be bladder infection. First you should have a routine urine examination and urine culture and sensitivity. This will identify if there is any urinary tract infection which could be a cause for that pain. Antibiotics may be required if urinary infection is identified . Antibiotics should be prescribed by your doctor based on culture and sensitivity report. Drinking of plenty of water will help if Urinary tract infection is detected.

You should reduce your alcohol consumption or better stop it for a good health.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
