UTI or something else

[MuMmaOf3littles]

For the last 3 days I've been having painful urination. I'm getting pain in my stomach, lower back and bum everytime I urinate. I've just used the toilet before bed now and the pain has made me suck my breath in a bit. I've done the usual Googling and a UTI is what seems to be popping up. But I've had UTIs previously and never experienced this before. Has anyone had similar or can maybe shed some light? Tia.

I'd start with assuming it's a UTI and antibiotics. If that doesn't fix it, go from there
I recently struggled on for a couple of weeks with one that didn't fit my usual pattern.

Cystitis? Get a GP appointment.

You shouldn't delay getting medical attention- you could be at risk of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Could you have caught an STI?

UTIs can progress quite quickly into worse infections if not treated - I would seek medical advice sooner rather than later. Good luck.
