Can u please categorie the increased urination?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain and the increased urination that you have reported. Is this increased urination in terms of frequency? If the response is yes, has the quantity of urine the same or in decreased quantities. If the quantity is same, then this is unlikely to be a possible urinary tract infection. However, if there is a decrease in the quantity with an increased frequency, then it could suggest a possible infection.
In real terms, I am not really categorical on a possible urinary tract infection. This would not keep going on for weeks with no typical and very suggestive symptoms. This pain may be non specific but before we conclude on that, it would be best to run a few tests. I will like that you get your urine examined and you also get an abdominal ultrasound done. If these tests should identify an abnormality, then it would be addressed accordingly. If nothing s identified, I will tend more to reassure you, monitor and manage pain if concerning. Should new information come up and suggests something else, we would act in that direction.
In all, this is likely not caused by a disease or ongoing disease process right now. A urine test and an abdominal ultrasound would clear any doubts on shed more light on any condition that needs to be addressed.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
