Patient's question:
I have had two urinary tract infections before, which were treated with medication and resolved. This time, the condition has recurred, with a constant urge to urinate even without urine, abdominal bloating, and a burning sensation in the lower abdomen during urination. However, there is no discomfort in the vagina this time. Is it possible to diagnose this directly and buy medication over-the-counter?Doctor's answer:
Dear patient,As you described, symptoms such as frequent urination and painful urination may be preliminarily considered to be caused by a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to undergo a detailed and thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and then actively treat the condition. First, antibiotics such as amoxicillin should be used to actively suppress the infection. Additionally, sodium bicarbonate can be added to alleviate irritation symptoms.
In daily life, it is important to rest, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Always maintain cleanliness in the genital area. Most cases can improve with these measures.
The above information is for reference.
