What Causes Stinging Sensation While Urinating And High Level Of Vitamin B12?
Hello, I ve been experiencing some issues urinating for the past few months, occasionally when I urinate it can sting and its like a hot feeling. I have been to the doctors and after urine tests they found trace amounts of blood in my urine. I have had a CT Urogram and they found nothing wrong with my kidney or liver function and have found no urine infections. I also have burning sensation in my feet at night time or when I m walking sometimes. I have had a blood test s done checking for diabetes but they came back negative. The blood tests came back with a high level of vitamin b12 though. Other than the urinating and the feet I have no other symptoms or issues. I am going to see a neurologist but the date for the appointment could take months and I would appreciate if anyone could give me their medical opinion Thank you.

Hi,
Both the conditions you refer to are not interconnected. Stinging pain while urinating indicates urinary infection. High vitamin B12 levels are not problematic as body takes whatever is essential & remaining vitamin is excreted in urine and such urine might smell of the vitamin (stinking).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
