Question
I’ve been feeling that I urinate frequently with small amounts and have a painful sensation. What could be the cause?
Answer
You might consider it to be caused by a urinary tract infection. It is suggested that you go to the hospital for a routine urine test and can take levofloxacin, metronidazole, and Sanjin tablets for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to personal hygiene to prevent recurrence of infection. Drinking more water can increase urine volume, help flush and clean the urethra, and excrete the products of drug metabolism after decomposition, reducing the toxicity of the medication. It is advisable to eat light, water-rich foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamin C and carotene, helping to suppress inflammation and assist in the repair of urinary tract epithelial cells. You should also eat more foods with cooling and detoxifying, diuretic and clearing dampness effects, such as chrysanthemum, coriander, malan tou, winter melon, etc. It is forbidden to eat spicy and irritating foods such as leeks, scallions, garlic, pepper, fresh ginger, etc., and avoid eating warm foods such as lamb, dog meat, rabbit meat, as well as greasy foods to prevent exacerbation of inflammation.
