Hi,
Going by your history and symptoms it seems to be a case of
Urinary Tract Infection [either kidney, ureter or bladder] with 'strangury' [repeated urgency to urinate with a sense of incomplete emptying], so it will be wise to
consult a Urologist or with a gynecologist to exclude
bacterial vaginosis [BV], for symptom wise approach:
i. Urinalysis and urine culture to identify the cause or bacteria causing the infection and if the reason is UTI he will prescribe appropriate antibiotics accordingly to resolve the infection
ii. Renal imaging studies if structural abnormalities are suspected.
PS. Other medical conditions which can be excluded apart from Urinary tract simultaneously are: diabetes,
interstitial cystitis till then
- Drink plenty of water to dilute your urine and flush out bacteria [i.e. drink enough to prevent constipation and over-concentration of urine] as constipation can worsen the symptoms of
overactive bladder.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, citrus juices, soft drinks, which can irritate the bladder and aggravate urgent need to urinate.
- Apply a warm [not hot] heating pad on your abdomen to minimize bladder discomfort.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
