Hello,

The symptoms of UTI (Urinary tract infection) include:

1. Pain in the groin
2. Hematuria
3. Urinary frequency /urgency
4. Burning micturition
5. Fever with chills

The symptoms you have mentioned make the diagnosis of a UTI a very likely possibility. I would suggest you start on cranberry juice for now and first thing tomorrow get a urine R/E and Culture and sensitivity done.

The proper treatment can be started based on your lab results for sensitivity meanwhile stay hydrated and maintain proper hygiene of your vagina with regular wash after urination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Adnan Iqbal
