Brief Answer:
How many stools do you have in a day?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diarrhea. I will like to know how often you go to the toilet and the nature of the stool: Soft, liquid.....Is there blood or mucus in it, etc.

For now, drinking much water is recommended. Diarrhea never kills except when adequate fluids replacement is not done. So, drink as much fluids as possible.

Let me hear back from you and will provide more insights as soon as I hear from you.

Probably 3 times a day. Just soft. I feel really nauseated. And the urine pressure now is awful but not painful.

Brief Answer:
How many time do you urinate and how much?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This pressure might signal a possible urinary tract infection. However, this will need to be followed up with a urinary exam. Also, how often do you urinate and how much urine? Is the volume so small and different from previous habitual urine volumes?

I wish you well.

Dr. Ditah,
I'm urinating about every 2 hours, mainly pressure so it's very little. Maybe half a cup. It's clear. I was scared it could be a UTI but can't figure out how I could get it. I eat healthy - very little alcohol (glass of wine or a martini every few weeks), no cigarettes and no drugs.

Brief Answer:
With little urine, possible a UTI!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

At this time, I am more of the fact that a UTI is more likely. I will recommend a urine examination at this time.

Thanks
