Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have chronic UTI due to age related Post Menopausal Urethral Stenosis.
In post menopausal age al the genito urinary organs undergo changes of atrophy due to hormonal changes.
This leads to atrophy Narrowing of Urethral passage (Urethra) which results in to incomplete emptying of the bladder every time when you pass urine and some amount of urine remains in bladder.This stagnated urine is the source of chronic infection giving rise to these symptoms.
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical evaluation and get following tests under his guidance.
1) Routine urine test and Urine culture to find out organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.
2) Ultrasound scanning of the urinary system.
3) Endoscopic examination of bladder (Cystoscopy) and Urethral calibration where Urologist will dilate your urethra so that bladder is empted completely every time you pass urine, this will help to prevent infection and pain .This is has to be followed by Clean Self Intermittent Catheterisation at home for 3-6 months
Please take broad spectrum antibiotics along with anti inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily .
Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.
Ensure to drink more water.To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me I shall be happy to help you
