Urine

[Sally123123]

I have urine that feels sensitive after urinating and sometimes at random various times I feel tingling in the urethra up into the bladder. My urine smells kind of acidic. I have diffficulty with constipation from IBS and that makes the symptoms worse when it occurs. It doesnt burn but feels sensitive or different when urinating. I'm a 25 year old female.

Hello,

Burning micturition is due to urinary tract infection.It can be due to stones in kidneys,urters,bladder or urethra or due to Pyelonephritis, Cystitis, Urethritis Glomerulonephritis and Urethral ulceration.

Diagnostic tests that may be performed include Urinalysis, Urine culture, X-rays of the kidneys, Cystoscopy, IVP, Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen.

Till then drink plenty of fluids and do moderate exercises like skipping.Citrus drinks are particularly helpful.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.

Hi
Thanks for the post!
Your symptoms could be due to UTI, or urinary tract infection. The infection could be at any level from bladder to ureter to kidney. It could also be due to a stone in the urinary tract. You need to get your urine examined for infection.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
