Hi,

This is suggestive of uroinfection. Other common cause are urinary stones. Diagnosis is established by doing urine analysis and urinoculture and after this antibiotic treatment may be started if necessary. If there is negative urine analysis then you should do ultrasound of kidneys to check for stones. You should drink plenty of fluids and take raspberry tea or juice to promote urination.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.

Kindly regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
