Patient's question:
Since last month, there has been itching in the vagina here. At first, I thought it was because my underwear wasn't washed properly, but later, even after using a disinfectant, it didn't help. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it was a urinary tract infection. They prescribed medication for it. Over the past two days, I've also been experiencing muscle aches all over my body. I want to know if a urinary tract infection can cause muscle aches all over the body?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infection, if not severe, generally never causes the symptom of whole-body aches. If the urinary tract infection is severe, it may repeatedly cause mild fever and multiple symptoms of muscle aches. When urinary tract infection occurs frequently, it should be treated promptly with anti-inflammatory medication. Drink more hot water to accelerate metabolism and alleviate the symptoms of urinary tract infection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
