Patient's question:
Not a menstrual issue. A few days ago, I had sexual intercourse with my friend, and later I felt uncomfortable. I took diuretic herbal tea, and after it subsided, I had intercourse again. It seemed fine that day, but the next day when I took the bus home, I noticed frequent urination and cloudy urine, along with slight lower abdominal bloating and difficulty defecating. On the bus, I ate a lot of high-calorie foods. As of today, I haven’t had a bowel movement for three days. Last night, I noticed a small, meat-like piece with a slight red tint in my urine, but today there’s no redness anymore. My lower abdomen has been bloated, as if I really need to urinate but can’t clear it properly. What could be going on? What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination is usually a symptom of a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to have a urinalysis to confirm the inflammation, and then sensitive antibiotics can be used for treatment. In this case, it is necessary to go to the urology department of the hospital for related examinations such as urinalysis, renal function tests, and ultrasound of the urinary system to identify the cause before discussing treatment. It is important to pay attention to keeping warm and maintaining local hygiene, and to eat less spicy and irritating foods.
