Brief Answer:
Urinary tract infection is most probable reason of such symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms are characteristic for urinary tract infection (urethra infection). Such infection can be caused by bacteria (most common reason) or fungi. You may have also frequent urinating, lower abdominal pain, trace of blood in urine, slight fever.
I suggest you to consult your doctor. Urine analysis should be done at first. If an infection will be bacterial, you should get antibiotic treatment.
Please also increase mineral water intake and start cranberries supplementation.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
