Q. Is it normal to have urine dripping even after UTI treatment?
Hello doctor,
About a couple of months ago, I had severe pain in my left leg, I went to the doctor and it turns out I have a UTI and there were ketones and my fasting blood sugar was 121. The doctor gave me some antibiotics and some pain killers and Vitamin B. The pain was almost gone but there was some numbness in the same leg and stayed for almost a month but what I noticed is that I kept feeling like some urine in dripping from me, some times I find nothing and sometimes I find something but I am not sure if it is urine or not. A month ago I got a urine tested and there was nothing but I still have this same feeling like urine is coming out of me. I used to not drink water, some days I only drink one or 2 cups and I fear public restrooms so I used to keep urine almost 12 hours, can that be the cause?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your question that one month ago you had left leg pain and you also have a recurrent urinary tract infection. You are a young woman, no diabetes because I saw your HbA1c report that is less than 6.5 which means you do not have any diabetes mellitus. Coming to your symptoms, left leg pain and dribbling of urine. I want you to get a basic blood test done which is complete blood count renal profile, liver function test, urine routine and also check your vitamin B12 and vitamin D as well. When there is a deficiency in B12, your nerves will lose its functioning normal level.
Drink plenty of fluids and water because that will help one from getting too many episodes of urinary tract infections. Drink as much as you can but not more than 1.5 gallons and eat healthily. Avoid deep fried items like chicken, burger, sauce, chicken fries. Drink tender coconut water, eating banana will also help you get rid of some muscle pain. In order to answer the question perfectly I need to get a basic blood investigation and in the meantime take a regular painkiller like Paracetamol or Acetaminophen 650 mg twice a day whenever needed and you please get back to me if you have your old blood reports, you can send it to me. I will just take a look.
