Suffered From Kidney Infection. Having Burning Sensation, Blood In Urine, Pain Above Pubic Bone. Could It Be STD?
i am currently suffering with passing blood when i urinate, it also burns and i get a pain just above my pubic bone, and i get it every time i try to hold my urine in. i have seen the doctor nearly every week for the past 4 months and have suffered numerous kidney infections yet they can not seem to find the problem and no antibiotics have helped, i am currently on a waiting list to have my kidneys scanned which could take up to 6 months. the doctor mentioned it could be an STD but that is impossible as i am not yet sexually active.

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have hematuria,burning urination since last four months and have been prescribed antibiotics with no satisfactory results.
Hematuria can be due to other causes like stone in urinary system or tumour in urinary system and needs to be investigated in detail by doing following tests.
1) Urine culture
2) Ultrasound scanning
3) I.V.P.(Intravenous Pyelography.
4) C.T.scan of the urinary system.
5) Endoscopic examination of bladder .chronic UTI .
Please try to get the appointment earlier with Urologist and follow his advice for further treatment.
