Suggest Remedy For Constipation And Frequent Urge To Urinate

Am 64 - had 5 doses of Cipro because I was urinating a lot and have sinus infection. Blood in urine. Fever has been about 100.6 off and on for three days. Also diagnosed as anemic and started iron supplements 5 days ago. Diagnosed as dehydrated too. Woke up just now, went to bathroom but can t completely void because am constipated - am taking stool softeners. Urge to urinate still there.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Since there is frequency of urination with blood in urine and fever, this most probably is UTI that is urinary tract infection, the resultant dehydration and other factors can cause constipation.
Since you are already taking a laxative but not effective means you may need increase in dose, high fiber diet, more fluids.
Send the urine for tests of routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
Tests of blood for CBC, urea and creatinine.
Antibiotic coverage to be continue for 14 days for UTI and change over to another one as per the reports of culture and sensitivity.
Drink plenty of fluids.
Take urilizer to keep urine alkaline.
Ultrasonography of abdomen particularly of urogenital system.
All these factors will make a proper management and will cure you of the problems that you have.
