Intense pain

[Carolsos]

I have intense pain at the bottom of my abdomen and peeing every 15 minutes for a day and today pain still there not peeing every 15 minutes now and when I do go it's not much, a dribble! When I sit on the loo and go I come out in goosebumps and a horrible feeling! I rang my doctor's yesterday, but they had just shut. I tried again to see what number to ring and they said 111 I then looked on the web page and it said it was open the doctor's on another number until 8pm. I missed that because I didn't know there was an other number. I didn't ring 111 cause I didn't want to go to hospital. I am going to see how I fair today as I might have to ring 111 later! Would you ring 111?

Take care

Yes I would ring 111. They will probably get you an appointment with a GP at your local hospital. Don't let it get any worse. Good luck and let us know how you get on. x

If you want to risk a kidney injury then do nothing on the other hand ring 111 and probably get antibiotics and back to normal in a couple of days or sooner. They'll do a dip test and this needs sorting its dangerous to ignore a UTI Sorry but thats the truth.

I have rang 111 and a Dr is ringing me back in 2 hrs. So thank you for your help everyone.

I really hope your ok and feeing better soon. UTI's are not good at all.

[Mmrr]

Yes if you have a urinary tract infection you will need antibiotics. Better sooner than later.

111 has been great for me during the pandemic. I wouldn’t hesitate to ring them xx

[Pippy25]

Please don't leave it and get it checked out xx

[Exhiker]

Yes ring 111, sounds like you may need ab for a uti.

[charisma]

Definitely risky to leave it. Glad you called 111. But they should be doing urine tests. Hope you get proper care and get free of pain fairly soon.

I tend to take D-Mannose since it helps prevent any UTI . One twice a day for maintenance dose, if interested. Proven better than cranberry juice but it does cost more.🙂

[medway-lady in reply to charisma]

I'm using cranberry juice and D Mannose on the advice of my Nephrologist and taking a small dose of antibiotics too so far it does seem to be helping.

[charisma in reply to medway-lady]

Good to hear. You have to be so careful with kidneys not working properly. 🌸
