What Causes Burning Sensation While Urinating?

Home remedies for UTI
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Urinary Tract Infection.
Under such circumstances, relief can be obtained with:
1. Drinking lots of water - it dilutes the urine and reduces the burning sensation.
2. Do not hold the urge to pass urine.
3. Application of warm water bottle over the pelvic area is helpful in providing relief from cramps.
4. Avoid tea, coffee and carbonated drinks.
5. Cranberry juice - it is known to provide protection against UTI.
6. Alkaline mixture/ Citralka syrup - 10 ml mixed in glass of water to be taken thrice a day. This neutralizes the acidic nature of urine and provide symptomatic relief. You can also use half teaspoon of baking soda mixed with a glass of fresh water for the same.
7. Analgesic anti-inflammatory preparations like Paracetamol (if there is associated pain & fever).
Once the UTI is diagnosed, a course of antibiotics will be needed based on urine examination, culture and sensitivity reports.
So, kindly visit your Doctor in the morning & discuss regarding the same.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
