Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have UTI

Get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptic like
Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Pain in pelvic area can be either due to stone in ureter or any ovarian pathology .Doing Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen will help to rule out stone in kidney or ureter or pin point diagnosis ..

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Ensure to drink more water.To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.
