My mother who is 86 years old keep asking me why she gets pins and needles when she urinates. Can you help me give her an answer. She has in the past suffered from urinary tract infections. Could it be how she sits or holds herself when urinating? I look forward to your reply.
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. This may be sign of urinary stones and if these stones are small then it should not be treated aggresively since in most cases it passes spontaneously and dissapear with urination. You should just drink plenty of fluids and raspberry tea to promote urination. If you notice fever, blood in urine or pain, you should see urologist and then some invasive procedures may be considered. Orthrer possible causes include urinary infections or bladder polyps and basic urine analysis should be done for a start to start evaluation process. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
