Suggest Remedies For Burning And Blood Discharge In Urine

Hello, I believe I possibly have a UTI. I was involved in sexual intercourse four days ago and today I experienced sharp burning pains whilst urinating which continually got worse throughout the day where they would continue after urination and to the point where my urine is now bloody. I have researched and tried to drink as much water as possible, is it possible for me to treat this myself or is this an urgent matter I should take up with my local doctor? I really would not like to have to tell my mum or doctor. Thanks.

Hello,

I believe you are having a urinary tract infection. I would treat you empirically with Bactrim twice daily for 5 days.

Also, you can find cranberry juice or tea otc in pharmacy to help disinfection and stop uti, this in case you don't want to go to the doctor or do urine analysis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
