Brief Answer:
Its bladder infection called cystitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It sounds like cystitis. It is infection of bladder.

It can be treated.

You need to get a culture and antibiotic sensitivity of the urine.

This will tell which bacteria is causing it and which antibiotic to use.

Maintain clean hygeine.

Get a diabetes checkup if not done for long.

A sonography of bladder is preferable but not necessary at this time.

Dr Som MD
