What brings you in today? |
Question |
|
I’ve had to pee a lot lately. It burns when I pee, and it looks weird. I thought it would go away on its own, but it hasn’t. So I was like, fine, I need to see someone. [AUDIO COMING SOON] |
||
I’m sorry that you’re experiencing pain and burning during urination. I’ll try to find a medication that will help alleviate these symptoms. |
Empathize |
|
Thanks. |
||
How long have you had these symptoms? |
Question |
|
Three days ago, I started feeling pretty bad. I kept having to pee, and each time I did, it burned. It was gross, too. The pee looked different. [AUDIO COMING SOON] |

any factors that make it worse? (Clarified to: What aggravates the pain?) |

what do you do to relieve the pain? |
Question |
|
Since it only burns and stings when I pee, I thought maybe it would hurt less if I didn’t pee so much. I tried drinking less water, but I’m not sure how much good it’s doing. |
||
I know that you tried to alleviate your symptoms by not drinking fluids; you should try to stay hydrated by drinking more water and avoiding drinks that irritate the bladder such as soda coffee or alcohol |

do you cranberry pills help (Clarified to: Are the cranberry pills effective?) |
Question |
|
I don’t know . . . I’ve heard you’re supposed to take them for UTIs, but it’s been three days and nothing’s gotten better. And I even took two at a time. I don’t know the dosage, but regardless, you’d think they’d be doing something. (Clarified to: if the cranberry pills are effective) |
