What should I do if I have lower abdominal pain after taking medication for a urinary tract infection?

Patient's question:

Had blood in urine, sharp pain, and lower abdominal pain. After seeing a doctor, it was diagnosed as a urinary tract infection. I took Cefdinir and Sanqing capsules. Today, I went for a follow-up visit, and the urine test results showed everything was normal, but the lower abdominal pain and bloating still persisted. The doctor said the results would be fine, and no more medication was prescribed. Now, I'm very worried if it's truly better and if the pain will disappear on its own. Seeking answers?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the information you provided, it is likely that you have a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections are one of the most common diseases in urology and can often cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, hematuria, and lower abdominal pain. I suggest you get a urinalysis to confirm the diagnosis. If it is a urinary tract infection, I recommend taking Sanjin tablets, drinking more water, and regularly reviewing your urinalysis. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
