What should I do about urinary urgency, frequency, and pain?

Patient's question:

Lately this week, it has been very painful when urinating, and the frequency is particularly frequent. Every half hour or hour, I feel the urge to go to the toilet. When I think about going to the toilet, there's a feeling that I can't hold it in anymore. It seems like as soon as I think about it, I immediately want to go to the toilet, and there's no way to hold it in.

Doctor's answer:

Hello!!! You have the symptoms of urinary tract infection, such as typical urinary urgency, frequency, and pain. Medication Treatment: According to many treatment guidelines, trimethoprim is the first-line medication for treating urinary tract infections. When patients use it continuously or have used other antibiotics continuously in the past 6 months, bacteria are more likely to develop resistance to this drug, and this risk increases with age. Based on this, it can be inferred how easily patients are likely to be infected with bacteria resistant to trimethoprim.
