What Could Cause Improper Urination And Recurrent E.coli Infections?

I am a female of about 42 yrs and I am unable to urinate properly, due to this I always keep feeling like I have to urinate causing several problems like - - unable to sleep because of the disturbances caused due to the desire to urinate. - infection due to the growth of E Coli, as irregular urination makes the condition favorable for those bacteria to grow. etc.

Hello,

E. coli infection commonly occurs due to poor hygiene, use of public washrooms and toilets. Be hygienic, take bath regularly. Also, take bath during menstruation and after sexual intercourse. Do not douche your vagina and also avoid the use of spermicides. Menopause causes hormone changes causing changes in your vaginal bacteria, thus there is a higher risk of recurrent infection.

You are advised to get done Urinalysis (R/E & C/S), you will be treated with antibiotics and analgesics. Improper urination is indicative of diabetes, bladder problem/cancer, overactive bladder, stress and anxiety, etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
