Im a nineteen year old male. On friday I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and prescribed phenazopyradine and an antibiotic. My urethra doesnt burn so much anymore, but Ive been noticing some pressure or something in my perineum. It makes it sort of uncomfortable to walk. Ive looked online and I cant find anything that says that perineal pain/pressure is a symptom of urinary tract infection. Im in college and the health center is closed today, but Im going tomorrow. I just want to know if I should be concerned.
Hello share your concern heaviness or pain in lower abdomen/ perineum may occur with UTI. I would advise you to take plenty of fluids which will also help in flushing off the urogenital tract. If it doesn't improve with phenazopyridine than I would advise you to go for urine culture and sensitivity test and an ultrasound of abdomen. Please write back to me with following details like since how long you are having this problem any history of recurrence of this problem? Hope this answers your question, please feel free to ask for follow-up question, I will be happy to help you best wishes
