Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I'm a 25-year-old man who's been experiencing frequent urination every half an hour, along with the presence of blood in my urine. I'm concerned about the possible causes of these symptoms and whether it would be appropriate to consider amoxicillin or ciprofloxacin as potential treatment options.

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

For individuals within your age range, frequent urination during both day and night can potentially be attributed to diabetes or a urinary tract infection. If the increased frequency occurs primarily at night, it may be indicative of prostatitis. To address this concern, it's essential to take the following steps:

1. Undergo laboratory tests, including a fasting blood sugar test and a comprehensive urine analysis, to assess for diabetes or urinary tract infection.

2. Additionally, consider a pelvic ultrasound to provide further insights into your condition.

These diagnostic measures will help us determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and guide us in developing an appropriate treatment plan.

 

Thanks
