Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Based on the symptoms mentioned (blood, frequency, discomfort), then an urinary tract infection is likely present
This can involve any aspect of the urinary tract and more than one area may be involved. The urinary tract in made up of the bladder, ureter, urethra, kidneys
Your doctor can test a sample of urine at the office to determine if an infection is present.
A sample can also be sent to the lab to find the specific bacteria causing the infection
Treatment involves: (a) continue drinking a lot of water
(b)antibiotics- these would be prescribed by your doctor and needed to get rid of the infection
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
