Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been suffering from a UTI for a very long time. My doctor suggests antibiotics then it gets better. I am again experiencing pain during urination.I am taking the tablet Methimazole for thyroid problems.

Kindly help with this.

Answered by Dr. Arpit Varshney

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern in detail and will surely help you out. The ultimate cure to pain during urination is to treat the UTI (urinary tract infection) adequately. Once it is cured, the pain will go. However, since you are developing recurrent UTI, investigations need to be done to rule out the cause of recurrence. It is essential because recurrent UTIs can lead to scarring in kidneys and kidney damage.

I do not want to scare you; I want to make you aware of the ill consequences it may have. You can contact your local doctor for further evaluation of the causes.

Also, you may take these medicines for relief in pain during urination;

1. Syrup Alkasure (Disodium hydrogen citrate) 2 teaspoons thrice daily with water.

2. Capsule Urimax (Tamsulosin) D 1 at night.

These medications will help you in pain relief. However, appropriate investigation to know the cause of recurrent UTI is essential.

Hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
