this is the second time I notice the bright red little balls after I wipe myself the first time was months ago and I do not have any family history of chronic illness. I don't feel pain when I urinate and theres no blood when I urinate either. the last time I had sex was 3 days ago and this just started today.
Brief Answer:
Most probably resolving phase of UTI
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them. As no other significant history/finding is present so there is high probability that its because of resolving phase of UTI. As you are already taking AZO so i would suggest you to wait & observe. UTI takes some time to resolve completely.
Meanwhile i would suggest you following things:
- Drink adequate water
- Keep very good care of hygiene
- Wash genital area thoroughly after using washroom.
- Avoid sexual contact till you become disease free to prevent relapse.
After completing the antibiotic cover if it persists then you'll need to visit hospital for further workup. In that case you need to get an appointment for "Consultant Urologist". He is specialized for dealing with genitourinary complaints. He will advise some investigations like ultrasound KUB, Urine C & S, etc to reach a conclusion for the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
