My urine culture report showed an infection, and I was prescribed Taxim and Urispas by a doctor. While I was on the medication, my symptoms were under control. However, today the symptoms have returned. I am experiencing burning during urination, urine leakage, abdominal discomfort, and mood irritation. The urine leakage is quite a lot and is making me very uneasy. Could you please guide me on what steps to take next?

You may have a persistent or resistant urinary tract infection. A repeat culture is needed to alter the antibiotic course. Meanwhile, stay hydrated, drink cranberry juice and follow up with a urologist. Also, maintain hygiene.

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.
