Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were youir doctor, I would advise you for a stool test and a urine test followed by a culture sensitivity of the urine to decide on the appropriate antibiotic for a possible urinary tract infection. Apart from this, an ultrasound abdomen could be a helping tool in ruling out any other urological or pelvic pathology. Your abdomen also needs a physical examination by the doctor. Therefore I would advise you to consult your family physician and go as per his advice.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
