I have been experiencing burning after urination for the past 10 months. The problem is intermittent, sometimes it resolves for a few days and then comes back. Earlier, a culture test showed UTI, and I was treated with antibiotics. Along with burning, I also sometimes have frequent urination. My doctor did a rectal exam and said this is chronic prostatitis. I am currently taking Flotral and will be starting Urispas from today. A KUB ultrasound has also been advised again (the last one, about 7 months ago, only showed mild segmentation). Please suggest what I should do next.

Burning after urination with intermittent frequency can occur in chronic prostatitis, as your doctor mentioned. Continuing Flotral and Urispas as advised is appropriate. A KUB ultrasound is good to recheck for stones or prostate changes. If symptoms persist, a Urine Culture and PSA test may help in further evaluation. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and spicy foods to reduce irritation.

Hello doctor, I am experiencing extreme pain in my clitoris while urinating. A few weeks ago, my urine test showed a positive result for a urinary tract infection, but I did not take any medication. Now, I am having pain in my clitoris, and my urine is very dark in color, sometimes with blood. I would like to know what might be causing these symptoms and what I should do next.

What can be the possible reason for sharp pain in the lower abdomen near the vagina. My urine report indicated a urine infection but the pain is not going. I have been taking Ciplox TZ for three days but there is no relief?
