Hello, Thank you for using “Ask a doctor” to post your health query. I read carefully your question and I understand your concern. What you are describing can be a urinary tract infection, but can also be many other things, like kidney stones, or other causes that cause bleeding in the urinary ways. You should as soon as possible see a local doctor and consider doing an urinalyses and abdominal ultrasound. More examinations may be needed depending on the results of the above. Drinking water and taking cranberry tablets is not enough to help you heal completely. You will probably need to take antibiotics. Continue doing what you are doing anyway, but also see a doctor as advised above. Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications. Regards, Dr. Papaqako
