Hello my friend
Thanks for your question on HCM

I think you have UTI(Urinary Tract Infection)
You have to do:
1.Dipstick analysis of urine - may treat as bacterial if there are positive results for nitrite and/or leukocytes.
2.Urine microscopy - leukocytes indicate presence of infection.

If the tests shows you have an infection than you have to take medications like Bactrim no longer than three days,given only by a doctor.

When a woman wipe themselves after passing a stool (faeces), wiping from the front towards the back passage (anus) is best. If you start near the back passage, you may accidentally bring germs (bacteria) closer to the tube which drains urine from your bladder (the urethra) and your bladder opening. This increases your risk of having an infection.
Try to eat lots of fruit and fibre and drink plenty of fluid.

Hope this information is helpful to you
Best regards
