Suggest Treatment For Frequent Urination And Burning Sensation During Urination
Question: I am experiencing a burning, numbing sensation all over especially in my lower extremities. Frequent urination and frequent small, loose stools. I have been on steroids for 3 weeks due to pneumonia.
Brief Answer:
Steroids predispose to infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Prolonged steroids use may predispose to common infections that may affect genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts too, so frequent urination and loose stools may be related to this possibility.
Numb, burning all over may be a side effect of steroids or ( if you used ) antibiotics.
Please discuss with your Doctor about these possible conditions that may cause your symptoms and further evaluation to confirm or exclude them.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
