I am experiencing pain and frequency of urination. I am on bladder medication. Could I have a UTI?
Brief Answer:
usually are symptoms of UTI
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Frequency and dysuria (discomfort on urination) are typical symptoms for UTI, so it is a definite possibility.
Some persons may also have urgency (need to rush to the bathroom), change in the color or odor of the urine, blood in the urine, abdominal pain, fever.
Cranberry is a good start though some persons suggests the capsules help more than the juice, it can help with urinary tract infections but if an infection is present, antibiotics would be needed in the majority.
YOu should consider a visit to your doctor for confirmation with a urine analysis. Antibiotics would then be prescribed.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
