What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain And Pain During Urination?

I was bloated so I took a diuretic to help with access water weight. I have been drinking alot of water, but today for lunch I had a diet Dr Pepper with my meal. Just a few minutes later I am having sever pains in my lower abdomen. The pains are sharp and feel like maybe a urinary tract issue. When I try to pee, it hurts bad. Will drinking water help?

Hello dear,

The symptoms mentioned by you such as pain in lower abdomen and burning sensation during urination suggest that you might be having Urinary tract infection.

The treatment involves:
1. Drinking lots of water (it dilutes the urine & reduces the burning sensation)
2. Antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice in a day. To be taken only under the guidance of your Physician.
3. If there is associated fever, then paracetamol 500 mg three times in a day can be added.

One more thing, avoid acidic foods, carbonated drinks and alcohol & maintain good hygiene.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Take care.
