What Causes Frequent Urination, Weight Loss And Thick Urine?
Question: I've noticed I have to urinate more often no pain of any kind I lost about 40 pounds real quick but it's maintained and my urine seems to have become sticky what should I do
Brief Answer:
Might be urinary tract infection, urine routine examination
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Increased frequency of urination is one of the symptom of urinary tract infection. This being more commoner than benign prostatic hypertrophy, so we have to rule out this first.
I would have asked for urine routine examination and based on the investigation report I would have decided on the need of antibiotic. I usually prescribe tablet norflox 400 mg twice daily for three days. This is prescription based agent so you need to see local doctor for valid prescription.
Meanwhile I would suggest you to drink plenty of water and drink cranberry juice as it has found to be helpful in urinary tract infection.
For BPH, we have to do a digital rectal examination to evaluate the size of prostate.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Take care.
