Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, UTI can cause the tenderness in the lower abdomen if its not treated.

As you had already tried two medication and not improved there is chance of drug resistant infection.

I advise you to take the urine culture and sensitivity done. Once its report is available we can select the approapiate antibiotics. And your infection will soon be treated.

Please drink plenty of water as it can flush out the bacteria in the urinary tract.

Please maintain the local hygiene as it can also helps equally as to take the treatment.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
