Is Discomfort During Urination Is UTI?
I just finished antibiotic about 10 days ago for a boil in my groin area (I am a female- prone to boils). Now having discomfort when I urinate. Not bad, but discomfort at the end of urination. Could this be a UTI after being on antibiotic for 10days and only off for 10 now?

Hello,
May be you are having UTI, but the question how? The answer is you might have taken medicine for boils like, amoxicillin commonly given or any other which will not be active against urinary tract bacilli so UTI persists, now how to confirm? So get a routine urine test along with culture & sensitivity, you get the diagnosis as well as come to know the medicine to give.
Regards,
Thanks
