Could be due to UTI

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. There are a number of reasons that could give rise to such a presentation. It calls for a clinical evaluation. Urinary tract infection is a likely cause that is often encountered at this age-group of women.

Such an infection can be confirmed by getting urine routine microscopy with culture sensitivity analysis done. In case of such an infection, you need to drink plenty of water. Depending on the urine reports you might need to take appropriate antibiotics.

If you let me know your location, I could find some doctors for you.

Let me know if I could help further.

doctor ruled out uti after E.coli treatment was complete that is reason I feel so frustrated by local doctors

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (9 hours later)

Brief Answer:
It would still be a good idea to get the urine tested

Detailed Answer:
Recurrent infections are a possibility and the fact that you got full course of treatment a month back does not make you immune. Anyway, an explanation needs to be found. It is no use getting frustrated. Doctors need not have explanation for everything. That is the way medical science works.
