Can Taking Potassium Citrate & Citric Acid Help Relieve Pain During Urination?
I m feeling extreme pain during urinating. This is existing even after urination and lasting for hours. I m founding white semen type fluid in my penis before urination. Now I am taking Potassium Citrate & Citric Acid Monohydrate solution. But, I have learned from internet sources that I should not take this for urinary tract infection. Most of the sources suggest to take ciprocine.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Taking potassium citrate tablets is contraindicated(Not advised) in Kidney failure and Urinary tract infection. Ciprocine is an antibiotic which can be prescribed by a doctor after confirmation of urinary tract infection in you if present. Please do not take self medication and urine alkalinizer can be helpful for infection with plenty of fluids.
