Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain During Urination
Hello Doctor. I am 22 years old. For the past 3 days, I am experiencing deep pain and burning while passing urine. I feel the urge to go to the toilet again and again. My periods are regular. I have no problem like diabetes or high blood pressure. I have never had such a problem earlier/ suffer from this problem again and again. Please advice
It sounds as though you are experiencing the classical symptoms of a bladder infection. Since it has lasted for three days, I would advise you to get yourself to the local doctor's for a course of antibiotics. After confirming the infection with a quick urine dipstick test, what I would usually prescribe would be something like ciprofloxacin or amoxicillin, to complete a course of 5 days.
The other thing that would help your symptoms and speedier recovery would be urinary alkalinisers like potassium citrate or Ural. You should feel better within a day or two, and if you are not better by the third day, you probably need a repeat consult to see if an antibiotic change is warranted.
Make sure you drink enough water, at least 2 litres in a day, and don't hold your urine in. If you need to pee, just go. These two are the most important factors when it comes to developing urine infections.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Dr. Teh
