Hi.
Thanks for your query.

These look to be different problems:
The first one looks to be related to the recurrent urinary tract infection.
I would advise you to get the 3 week antibiotic course, urinary alkalinizer, plenty of oral fluids and see the results. The antibiotics will be as per the reports of the culture and sensitivity reports.
Further get intravenous pyelography, CT scan of the abdomen and if required the cystourethroscopy by Urologist.
Get specific causes as tuberculosis ans such problems investigated by the relevant blood tests.

Second problem looks to be related to thyroid- Since you have a history of thyroidectomy, get the freeT3 , Free T4 and TSH reports as get the dosages of thyroxine adjusted for the cure of the skin and related problems ...
General and specific examination by a Doctor always helps to assist the diagnosis when considered with laboratory investigations .
