Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description of your symptoms, it appears that you could be having inflammation of urethra called 'urethritis' with associated urinary tract infection.
The other causes which could be associated is enlarged prostate gland and urinary symptoms associated with diabetes mellitus.
Kindly do the following investigations to know what could be the cause.
1. Urine routine examination.
2. Urine for culture and sensitivity.
3. Ultrasound scan of the abdomen to look for kidneys and urinary tract along with the status of prostate gland.
4. Blood tested for Fasting glucose, Post-prandial glucose and Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
Kindly consult Urologist with report for clinical evaluation and further management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
