Suggest Remedy For Urinary Incontinence When Recovering From UTI
Question: Hi. Just left a local ER . Entered with a chief concern about left side inguinal pain. In fact the MD diagnosed inguinal sprain. He ruled out an inguinal hernia and blood clot. I am currently halfway through a ten day regimen of septra for a UTI. It is the second round of antibiotic this month. Five days ago my urine was deep in color and burned after urination. Both doctor recommend a follow up with a urologist. I have also suffered incontinence recently and urinate three or four times fron 4am to 7am.... My urine stream is ok . Any recommendations ? I live in a small town and will probably secure an appointment with a urologist in San XXXXXXX
