Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Bladder Infection And Kidney Stones
I am a 20 year old male and about a month and a half ago I passed a 3mm kidney stone and was diagnosed with a bladder infection. I have long since finished all my prescribed medicine and taken proper care of myself. I am sexually active but have been cleared for no STD s but still when I urinate I have a burning sensation. As of a couple days ago I have frequently been seeing these odd string like blood clots in my urine. Why?
Burning during urination and blood in urine, both things point towards the possibility of UTI ( urinary tract infection). It is a possibility that this may be a new spell of infection or your previous infection is still lingering on due to resistant strain of bacteria.
If I were your consulting physician I would run some tests 1.Urine D/R 2.Urine culture 3.Ultrasound KUB and then plan your treatment accordingly.
I would suggest you consult your local physician to get your full work up and treatment.
In the meanwhile maintain good hydration level, approx 2 liters of fluid per day....and take fruits and vegetables while avoiding proteins as they make your urine acidic.
I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
