What Does Burning Sensation During Urination Indicate?
I just had a surgical abortion on 11/3/2017 and when I woke up this morning and went to the restroom I had a burning sensation while peeing. As the day progressed and the more I pee to he more uncomfortable and strong the burning sensation seems to get. I’ve been calling after hours number for the clinic but no one will return my calls. Should I go to an emergency room now? Or maybe wait it out till the morning?
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. These symptoms are suggestive of uroinfection and this is common in your age and usually is manifested with pain during urination, fever and changes in urination frequency. Also, blood traces may be present in urine which can have odour or colour change. Other common cause are urinary stones. Diagnosis is established by doing urine analysis and urinoculture and after this antibiotic treatment may be started if necessary. If there is negative urine analysis then you should do ultrasound of kidneys to check for stones. You should drink plenty of fluids and take raspberry tea or juice to promote urination. 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.
