I have been suffering from frequent urination for the past 6 years. All tests, including cystoscopy, have been done. An E. coli infection was detected, and my urologist prescribed medication for 3 months, but it had no effect. I am 20 years old and also have constipation and excessive gas. How can this be treated?

Chronic urinary symptoms with E. coli and constipation may need gut focused approach. Treat gut first consider IBS, SIBO.

For the past two months, I have been needing to urinate every two hours and sometimes cannot control it. I do not have diabetes, and I have submitted my urine report. Please tell me what I should do.

I have a frequent urge to urinate but pass only a small amount of urine. There is slight pain on the left side of the kidney area. This happens on and off. Can this be worrisome? I did a blood check up last month: creatinine 0.89, GFR 84. I have attached my blood report. Please help?
