I Am Having Pain In My Urethra , Lower Stomach
Question: I am having pain in my urethra, lower stomach and both sides of my lower back. I feel the urgency to urinate, but when I actually try to, the output is very little.
This problem just came on quickly this afternoon.
I have had multiple UTI's due to lower immune system, but this problem seems different. I usually do not have any pain or urgency. (Low immune system due to IV drug). I'll be starting IVIG treatments in about a month.
