Patient's question:
For several days, I've been experiencing abdominal and lower back pain. Tonight, suddenly, I had frequent urges to urinate, but there was nothing, followed by blood in the urine. However, the symptoms quickly subsided, but the lower back and abdominal pain still persisted.Doctor's answer:
Painful urination with blood is mostly considered to be a symptom of urethritis, but further diagnosis is still needed. After confirmation, symptomatic treatment can be administered. However, it is important to avoid the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Additionally, in daily life, attention should be paid to personal hygiene: The female genital area and urethral opening are inhabited by a large number of bacteria, which are a prerequisite for the occurrence of urinary tract infections. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently pay attention to the cleanliness of the genital area, bathe often, and avoid swimming pools or tub baths. Underwear should also be changed frequently.
