Question (Posted on : 03 Oct 2008 )

I am aged 30 and I am suffering from urinary infection for the past 1 year. I have taken treatments, but after the completion of the course, again the problem persists. I have irritation and pain while I pass urine as well as burning sensation. Also, I suffer from stomach pain. I have a doubt, since I am working, I am forced to use toilet which is being used by others. Is it because of this, or anything else could be the cause. Pls suggest me what treatment I should take in order to get cured completely. Will this problem affect my urinary system? I am very much worried. Pls help

Since you have recurrent urinary infection you need to get some basic tests like Ultra sound , blood sugar estimation ,done after a proper clinical examination. Further tests like IVP and a cysto urethroscopy may be required if warranted. If no abnormaliy is found on clinical examination and if the other investigations are negative you may require 4-6 weeks of low dose antibiotic treatment. Use of common toilet may not be a contributing factor. Since your symptoms suggest only a bladder infection you kidneys are not likely to be affected. You may consult a local urologist who will guide you .
