What Causes Sharp Pain In Lower Back And Abdomen While On AZO For UTI?

About two weeks ago I had what I thought was a UTI, I get them about 1 every 4 months or so. I started to drink a lot more water, and sugar free cranberry juice. I also took AZO to help with the pain. It got better for a couple days, and then I started having pains all over again. This time it s in my lower back and in my Lower abdomen. I began to have sharp pains and it hurts when I sneeze/cough/hiccup. I was still continuing to drink the cranberry juice/water and the AZO and it went away pretty much. My vagina still hurt but it was more of an ache/soreness. But now it has been two weeks today that I have had this problem. Now it really hurts to pee, I have a greenish mucus discharge, with red blood in it.

Hi,

Based on the history you seem to be suffering from urinary tract infection. Azo is an urinary analgesic commonly used to relieve the pain/burning associated with a urinary tract infection. It does not kill the bacteria responsible for urine infection.

I advise you to consult your doctor for further evaluation which may include tests such as urine analysis and/or urine for culture and sensitivity to determine the causative bacteria so that an appropriate course of suitable antibiotics would be given.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
