Bladder or UTI Infection?!
Question: Bladder or UTI Infection.?
The other day i noticed a fairly sever pain in my back on my left side where my kidney is.. I then noticed a slight pain during urination, and i am going a lot more than normal.. I have been drinking lots of cranberry juice, and taking cranberry pills, and it seems to be getting better, but the thing that concerns me is that i have a slight pain, or discomfort in my scrotum.. Its not too bad, but i have never really had a problem before.. The pain isn't horrible, but any pain down there is noticeable.. Could this be a symptom of a UTI.? I am 20, and i am overweight, but my health isn't horrible.. Any ideas.? Thanks..Health Question & Answer

Painful urination and frequency are most common signs for a UTI.. If you also have some pain in scrotum it could be that you have epididymitis.. For the right diagnosis and treatment (w/ antibiotics) you should go see a doctor..Health Question & Answer
Go and see a doctor as only a proper medical examination can diagnose the problem accurately and thus point to a cure.. Delay will only make matters worse as any infection can spread to your kidneys and/or bladder..
