Question : I had cranberry juice Wednesday and had to pee every 5 minutes but was back to normal Thursday. Fine this morning (Friday) then Friday afternoon I started having the urge to pee but very little comes out. It hurts a little and there is a little blood. I've also been on vacation this week and having sex each day. I would be very thankful for any help.

Brief Answer: MOSTLY URINARY TRACT INFECTION. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for writing to us. According to clinical presentation, it is mostly suggestive of urinary infection in association with some dehydration. However, I suggest to undergo one routine urine examination and culture test to confirm the diagnosis. TREATMENT: Antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin group of drug along with urine alkaliser will be helpful to treat the condition. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from your local doctor. In addition, you must drink plenty of water (2.5 to 3 lit/ day), take cranberry juice regularly, maintain genital hygiene properly before and after each sex, empty bladder in time, avoid unprotected sex and wear cotton underwear only. Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query. Wish your good health and take care yourself.
