What Causes Burning With Urination?
Question: My urinalysis showed 2+ occult blood and trace leukocyte esterase! I do have some burning with urination
Brief Answer:
Urinary tract infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such results can indicate mild urinary tract infection. Especially if also symptoms like frequent urinating, burning while urinating, lower abdominal pain are present.
I suggest you to have an antibiotic prescribed (like Ciprofloxacine 500 mg twice a day for 5 days). If this wont help, urine culture test should be next.
In a meanwhile please increase mineral water intake and start cranberries supplements intake.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
