Question : Hi day 4 of feeling slight stinging after I pee and my urine turns bright pink. I started to take URO FORTE 4daya ago, the symptoms would go away after I take the pills but then come back. I did have sharp pain on the left side of my lower back on the 3rd day then it went away. Can you help me ?

Just to add, I have been urinating 4 times more lately& I have the urge to pee all the time.

Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have pain in lower back with burning urination and high coloured urine since 5 days.
