What Do Burning Sensation And Urgent Urge To Urinate Indicate?
My husband has extreme burning sensation and urgent need to urinate He is 75 years old has diabetes and end stage renal disease. He is currently in hospital for chest pain. The dr has not addressed the urinary problem but causes extreme pain and interrupts his sleep countless times during the night. Could he be suffering from VUR
Hi, Usually urinary tract infections are associated with urge and burning sensation. Since your husband has diabetes, it is a factor that increases the likelihood of having an infection, because diabetes damages your immune system thus making it easier for bacteria to grow and infect any part of his body. I would recommend an urinalysis, and Complete Blood Count to see if there is and infection, followed by an antibiogramme to determine to what antibiotic is the bacteria sensitive, thus starting a treatment. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Wish you good health.
