Hi, Three years ago, I completed treatment for pulmonary TB. For the past 10 days, I have been experiencing urinary irritation (feeling the urge but unable to pass urine properly) along with a dragging pain in the lower abdomen. Could you please advise which tests I should undergo before visiting a doctor?

Past TB can cause urinary tract scarring. Current symptoms suggest UTI or bladder irritation. Urine tests are first step. If persists, consider USG and urologist review.

I am having a burning sensation at the end while peeing and continuously feel like peeing. I am also feeling cold and like I have a fever, but it is not showing on the thermometer. Could it be a UTI? What test should I get done to confirm this?

I have a urine infection and went for a urine culture. I have a burning sensation while passing urine. This is my report. I need a good suggestion.

I have been suffering from a urinary infection for one month. I am under treatment but feel very weak, have no appetite, feel nauseous, and am always sleepy. My blood report shows Leucocytes 14,600 per cu.mm, C Reactive Protein is 162, and urine as sediment present.
