What Causes Painful Urination When On Victoza And Metformin For Diabetes?
I m a 58yo black male with a pain immediately after I urinate that last for 5-15 seconds. I am diabetic and its under control with victoza and metformin I also take losartan for blood pressure. I went to my primary who checked me for stds and did a blood work up my A1C is 6.5. I had a history of stones two years ago she suggested getting an X-Ray and follow up with urologist
Based on the history you have shared, you need to have a urinalysis to look for any signs of urinary tract infection which is common with diabetes.
Only a rare complication called lactic acidosis with Metformin can have urinary symptoms but before that a lot of other symptoms like severe lethargy, muscle aches, etc would have occurred and that is least likely in this situation you mentioned.
For reassurance renal function tests may be done however still possibility of renal stones is more likely than any other one so ultrasound KUB and Xray KUB may be needed. Meanwhile, Citrosoda sachet can helo with the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
