Question : i asked my question here.
I have new symptoms and I am summarizing everything again.
symptoms:
1-burning after urination (very little during urination).
2-when i press with my hand on bladder region, i fail pain.
3-when i drink one glass of water, a few minutes later i need to urinate.
The amount i urinate is normal in general.
4-two weeks ago i did an urine test and the result was normal (except little protein).
at that time, no burning but only frequent urination,
5-as you will see in the attachment, from time to time i have cloudy urine.
6-it is last a few days, during night i wake up to urinate.

Brief answer....looks like urinary tract infection
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms are typical of urinary tract infection.
A cloudy urine also indicates urine infection.
You must get your urine culture done and then take antibiotic accordingly.
A negative urine test done 2 weeks back has no relevance now.
Start taking an alkaliser like ALKACITRON two tsf thrice a day with one cup of water.
Drink plenty of water.
You may take craneberry juice also in meantime.
Once the culture report you can start proper antibiotics based on reports.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
There is no reason to think of any serious reason.
You are too young to have those serious reasons like cancer etc.
Moreover cancers usually present as painless bleeding.
These symptoms of burning in urine and frequent urination in night are typical of urinary tract infection only.
There is no reason for you to stress yourself by thinking about irrelevant and non existant problems and diseases.
Just relax and get the urine culture done and take appropriate anti biotic treatment.
You should soon be all right.
Thanks
