Hi,

Welcome to the ehealthforum. I am glad to help you out. From the description of the symptoms which you have given, it seems that you are suffering from a urinary tract infection only. I’ll suggest doing a urine analysis and possibly doing a urine culture after consulting a physician. Doing an ultrasound of the lower abdomen may also help in ruling out any other possibility like a stone in the urinary bladder.

If there is any history of unprotected intercourse then a sexually transmitted disease also needs to be ruled out.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
