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.
What Causes Painful Urination And Swelling In The Ankles?
My wife is experiencing what we thought was a UTI. She is prone to UTIs and that is why we thought it was a UTI but these symptoms have worsened. She is experiencing frequent pain when she urinates. Her urine is cloudy and she says it has a distinct smell, calls it a foul smell. Additionally her ankles are now swollen. One foot is tender to the touch. Above the same ankle her leg is a bit swollen. The UTI symptoms began 2 - 3 weeks ago and the foul urine smell accompanied the UTI symptoms. The swollen ankles came about less than a week ago.
Hi, I think you should do a urine routine and microscopy and culture to see if there is any infection. Also get a hemoglobin level, renal function test , thyroid profile and a ultrasound to see the kidneys,ureter and bladder. Consult a physician for proper examination. You may need some antibiotic. Hope it helps.
