urinary tract infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM.
This symptoms may be due to urinary tract infection such as
cystitis (bladder),
urethritis (urethra), or pielonephritis (kidneys). The only way to diagnose an infection is checking a urine sample and after that performing a urine culture. The urine culture is the most accurate test to determine for sure whether or not an infection is present. The lab puts the urine sample in an incubator. If any bacteria are in the sample, they will multiply and show up. However, it takes 24 to 48 hours for the bacteria to grow enough to be detected. The urinoculture should be followed by Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). Based on the result of the last one, you may take a specific antibiotic treatment. I suggest you to undergo an abdominal
ultrasound too, in way to exclude any possible structural cause of the UTI.
Meanwhile you should drink plenty of water, up to 80 ounces (oz) a day.
You can take
diclofenac (Dan) tablet with an initial dose of 100 mg orally followed by 50 mg oral doses every 8 hours, maximum 150 mg per day.
Herbs such as goldenseal, uva ursi, blackberry root, and wintergreen have the ability to soothe, relieve irritation and reduce infection in the urinary tract.
Load up on foods packed with
vitamin C or take vitamin C supplements may help you fight UTI.
You should take of your diet the bladder irritants such as: caffeine, alcohol, spicy food,
nicotine, carbonated drinks, and artificial sweeteners.
Hope this is helpful.
