Pain, Blood When Urinating. Taking Canestan Oasis Sachets. Previous Urinary Infections. Advise?

Hello good morning,
I am a 39 year old female and yesterday I started to have a bit of pain when urinating. I have had urinary infections in the past and taken sachets to relive this but this is a bit more severe.
Yesterday I started to notice a very small amount of blood coming out when urinating but not every time I went to the toilet. This morning it has got a bit worse and I have started taking Canesten Asis Sodium Citrate sachets for Cystitis.
I am hoping that completing the 2 day course it will clear this up.
Would you recommend going to see my GP please? I am of course concerned as I have never bled before with other urinary infections.
Thank you

Hello dear,

The symptoms like pain while urinating & presence of blood suggests towards possibility of Urinary tract infection.
Presence of blood indicates involvement of urinary bladder.

The treatment involves:
1. Drinking lots of water (it dilutes the urine & reduces the burning sensation)
2. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity.
3. Analgesic like paracetamol 500 mg three times in a day can be added to take care of pain and fever (if any).

Investigations like Urine microscopy & culture will be helpful.

So, kindly consult an Urologist & start treatment accordingly.
One more thing...you should avoid acidic foods, carbonated drinks & maintain good hygiene.
There is no need to worry...you will perfectly alright after taking the course of antibiotics.

Let me know if I need to clarify further.

Thanks & take care.
