Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a female ( age 65 yrs ) experiencing a sudden urge to urinate about every 20 min or so. There is also a slight burning when I urinate. Could these be symptoms of a urinary tract infection? I have never had one before. Also, would drinking some cranberry juice help with my symptoms?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to urinary tract infection. cranberry juice and barley water is good to get relief from symptoms. Antibiotic therapy will be required. You should go for an urine routine examination as well as culture and sensitivity also. Thanks
