What Causes Frequent Urination With Discomfort On Lower Back?

I am having a continuous sensation to urinate but when I do there are only drops. A lot of discomfort from the lower right back. It will wake me up at night. This has been since Thursday midnight, I have been able to function but tonight if is really bothering me. I urinate in a cup to see color right now it is pale yellow but has been yellowish red a few time. Is there anything I can take over the counter or do I need to go to hospital because of the weekend or wait to see a doctor on Monday. Not sure I can wait that long.

Hello dear user!
Welcome and thank you for sharing your concerns with us on HealthcareMagic.
From the symptoms you have described in your query it seems to be an urinary tract infection. Frequent urination, pain during urination or in lower back are typical signs for the UTI.
To determine the infection an urine test analysis must be done and then we would be able to have a closer view of the situation and choose the proper antibiotic.
Anyway I would recommend you ciprofloxacin twice daily for the UTI, as it is prescribed or advised by the doctor or pharmacist. The cure should last at least 10 days. Meanwhile take a lot of liquids in your diet (about 8 glasses of water a day). Cranberry juice is very good to help with the disinfection of urinary tract.
I hope this answer has helped you! Please kindly rate it as helpful and write a short review about this experience.

Best regards!
