Is Frequent Urination With Urinary Retention A Symptom Of UTI?

Posted on Thu, 30 Jun 2016

Question: I get the urge to uriate after I already uriate. Is that normal? Sometimes it's a full amount sometimes just a smal amount. My symptoms match up to IC but my doctor never method anything about it. I've also been constipated so I don't know if that can be it or if I might have be experiencing a recurrent UTI.

Brief Answer:
more likely to be UTI

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.
Welcome.
I have gone through your query. I do understand your concern.
Based on the information it looks like urinary tract infection.
I would have asked you for urine routine examination and urine culture & sensitivity.

Presently I would suggest you to drink plenty of water and drink cranberry juice which has found to be beneficial in UTI.
I empirically treat my patients with tablet norflox 400 mg twice daily for three days. But as you have mentioned that you had UTI previously, it would be better if we can wait for the investigation report and based on the report we can decide on the choice of antibiotic.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
