Suggest Treatment For Urinary Tract Infection
Hi I am a 24 year old female. Last week I had what I am pretty sure was a UTI. I was having burning with frequent urination and servere pressure in my lower abdomen/pelvic area. Also I just felt very sick and run down. I went to the doctor and the urinanalysis was normal. The doctor put me on cipro for 5 days anyways. At first I was felling much better then on day five I started having little twinges of pain again in my lower abdomen and my clitoral area just feels sore, but I am not having the burning feeling anymore. I'm not sure if this is just left over sideffects of the UTI and I should just wait and see if it goes away or what. Please help.

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You should first of all find the cause of UTI at this young age.
Get the following investigations done:
1. Urine Routine and Microscopy.
2. Urine Culture and Sensitivity
3. Ultrasound KUB.
Please share the symptoms you are having. You should start antibiotics only after giving the culture sample.
Get investigations and review.
