Is frequent urination and painful urination serious?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing frequent urination and a burning sensation in my urine for the past few days. I was wondering if it would be serious if I don't seek treatment, and if I can buy some medicine over the counter to treat it myself?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria are commonly referred to as urinary tract irritation symptoms in clinical practice, often indicating urinary tract infection. You can do a urinalysis for confirmation and then consider medication. Active treatment is necessary; if it becomes chronic urinary tract infection, treatment will be even more difficult.
