Diagnosed Having UTI, Had Hematuria With Urine Test, Urination Stops Abruptly, Started Antibiotic Treatment. Normal?

You seem to be having UTI. Burning micturation ,frequency of micturation with haematuria are common symptoms of UTI. UTI should not be a cause of worry but proper tretment is needed to avoid complications
Abrupt stop in urine and need of applying pressure for urination could be due to any obstruction in the urinary tract ? stricture or enlargement of prostate in males.
I would suggest you to visit a urologist and get your physical examination and urine culture done the culture reports take 24-48hrs to come. Till then you can with your course of antibiotic .
Drinking plenty of water helps in decreasing the infection.

Wish you good health.

Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

I have read your query, and your observation is quite close to one of the symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI). For this purpose, let me list all the symptoms of a UTI for you. They are:
-Frequent urination
-Burning sensation while urinating
-Increased urge to urinate, but small amounts of urine passed (this particular symptom is what you are experiencing, and this might feel like your bladder has not completely emptied)
-Fever
-Chills
-Itching around genitals
and a few more.

Do not worry about this. This is due to constant irritation of the bladder, and will surely come down with the use of the right antibiotics.

I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.

Hello, and welcome to HCM!

It sounds like you are being appropriately treated with antibiotics for your urinary tract infection. If you continue to have pain with urination or increased frequency/urgency of urination after several days of antibiotics you should return to your doctor. Some strains of bacteria can be resistant to medicines like Cipro (which is in general very effective for urinary tract infections). You also need a follow up urine test to make sure that there is no continued hematuria. As far as the abrupt stop to your urine stream, this is not suggestive of a particular problem. If it continues and concerns you, return to your doctor for evaluation.

I wish you good health, and thank you for posting on HCM!
