Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, age 23 female.. have been experiencing discomfort when urinating for past few months with no infection--taking vitamins and probiotics to help. Now experiencing UTI symptoms, fatigue, and bumps on back of tongue. Currently taking vitamin c supplements, and drinking lots of water. What could be the cause of this?
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Urinary tract infection. Urine examination (routine+microscopy) will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
The treatment involves: 1. Drinking lots of water 2. Antibiotics based on culture & sensitivity reports. 3. If there is associated fever, then paracetamol 500 mg three times in a day can be added. 4. Additional investigations like X ray KUB (KidneyUreter & Bladder) and Ultrasound scan of abdomen & pelvis will be helpful in detecting any hidden focus of infection in the Genito urinary tract. 5. Avoid acidic foods, carbonated drinks and alcohol...& maintain good hygiene.
Wishing a good health. Take care.
