I am going to the doctor tomorrow morning. Could anyone tell me what these symptoms mean. The lower back pain is occasional and I have to urinate more frequent. I dont not have any std's.

Maybe a bladder infection.

If your a man…which i think you are sounds very much like prostate or bladder infection.

You've got a UTI and possibly a kidney infection. you need antibiotics.

Do you have a low grade fever as well? it could be a urinary tract infection.

If you feel a more or less constant pressure to go along with the symptoms you describe, you have a bladder infection. you will need antibiotics to clear it up. Bladder infections are more common in women primarily because of poor wiping methods following a bathroom visit. While less common in men because of the differences in plumbing, they do occur and are quite painful and uncomfortable. you need to see your doctor.

Definately, a UTI a urinary tract infection, or a bladder infection is what they're called. I have had several and the only relief from this is antibiotics and you have to go to a doctor and produce a urine sample for them to detect it. it could spread up to your kidneys if you don't get it looked after and the old wise "cranberry treatment" never worked for me, you'll have to get antibiotics to clear it for sure. Talk from experience. It'll take about 2 days before you feel better after starting to take the antibiotics.

Well, for your back pain, you should start wearing a sacroiliac belt around your pelvis. What it does is that by providing the correct balance of resistance and resilience, the SI belt re-establishes the joint’s normal motion, thus relieves stress and instability at these weight bearing structures. The price of SI belts are in reasonable range these days, average cost is about $40 USD. I know a lot of people who wear SI belts, and I've read some astonishing testimonials about it.

There are many si belts out there, but Serola SI Belt seems to be the best one as far as quality, comfort, and price are considered. Check out their website for more: serola.net/product_new_sac_be…

I think you buy directly from their website at: serolabelt.com/new-serola-sacroil…

Hope it helps, good luck to you!

Just sounds like a UTI ( urinary tract infection)
all you need to do is get some antibiotics from the doc.
but for now.. and until all the meds are taken just drink LOTSSSSS of fluids.

The symptoms are pain and burning on urination
Difficulty starting your stream
Some people feel a pulling sensation in the pubic area
Feel like you have to go all the time and when you do you only dribble.
Bladder spasms

You really need to drink 8 glasses of water a day to maintain proper bladder function. that will help wash out bacteria that grows from holding in urine.

You will need to see your doctor and probably give a urine sample at his or her office. the doctor will prescibe an
antibiotic and if you are having spasms in your bladder area the doctor can prescribe something for that too.
Make sure to take a list of medication you are taking (if you are) and any allergies to medications you may have with you to the doctor.

Cranberry juice is good to drink when you have a urinary tract infection. Also, watermelon is excellent to help you urinate.

Take your medication as the doctor orders and do not stop taking the antibiotic until you finish it, even if you are feeling better.

I'd say you feel better in 3 to 4 days of increased fluids and the right medication.

Good luck to you and take care!

you should see your doctor if you are having any pain or burning when you have to pee. i am not a doctor but i would suggest that you should go to your doctor and discuss this with them and getting over any infection is based on when you start the meds. i hope this helps some.

Scientists at the University of Surrey, UK, have made a major breakthrough in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. they have developed a new way of more reliably detecting the cancer by testing a small urine sample from men, allowing faster testing that could save lives and offer the potential for huge cost savings. the research was enabled by a close partnership between the University of Surrey and the Prostate Project charity. a three-year study, published today (1 March) in the US journal Clinical Cancer Research, shows that a protein called Engrailed-2 (EN2) is made by prostate cancers and secreted into urine where it can be easily detected using the new test that is simple, quick and has the potential to be used in GP surgeries. EN2 is an important protein in the development of the human embryo and, like many similar 'early life' proteins, its production is 'switched off' at birth – but analysis of urine samples from 288 patients by the team at the University of Surrey found that EN2 is switched back on in prostate cancer. unlike the new EN2 test the standard 30-year-old PSA test for prostate cancer involves taking a blood sample and is unable to detect a significant proportion of early prostate cancers, which go on to kill over 10,000 men in the UK every year. the new EN2 test has been proven to be more reliable and accurate than existing tests, said Professor Hardev Pandha, the Prostate Project Chair of Urological Oncology at the University of Surrey's Postgraduate Medical School. "in this study we showed that the new test was twice as good at finding prostate cancer as the standard PSA test. only rarely did we find EN2 in the urine of men who were cancer free so, if we find EN2 we can be reasonably sure that a man has prostate cancer. EN2 was not detected in men with non-cancer disorders of the prostate such as prostatitis or benign enlargement. these conditions often cause a high PSA result, causing considerable stress for the patient and sometimes also unnecessary further tests such as prostate biopsies." With the current EN2 test, men provide a small urine sample either in the surgery or at home which their doctor sends to a lab. Professor Pandha said the testing method could, in the near future, be made into an even simpler ‘desktop’ test that a family doctor could perform in their surgery. the prospect of an immediate result that doesn’t involve a blood test or an embarrassing examination may be helpful in getting more men with urinary symptoms to seek medical help, he added. "unlike the development of drug treatments, the time taken to verify the potential of EN2 in the diagnosis of prostate cancer is relatively modest," said co-researcher Dr Richard Morgan, Senior Lecturer in Molecular Oncology at the University of Surrey. "we are preparing several large studies in the UK and in the US and although the EN2 test is not yet available several companies have expressed interest in taking it forward." Patients were tested at St George's Hospital, University of London, Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford, and Basingstoke Hospital. the research was funded by the University of Surrey and the Prostate Project charity. Scientist, medical doctor, and TV presenter Professor Robert Winston, who champions public engagement with science, said: “This is an exciting discovery which advances the early detection of this cancer. It also shows just how vital the research carried out in universities such as Surrey really is in helping to find faster, better solutions to some of the healthcare challenges that face us all." Chairman of the Prostate Project Colin Stokes said: "we are all elated at this development. Huge credit must go to Professor Pandha, Dr Morgan and their outstanding team of researchers at the University of Surrey. I would like to thank everyone who has given their time and money so generously to our charity which has helped make today’s announcement possible. some individuals and companies have been outstandingly generous. the charity is run entirely by volunteers and 98% of all the funds we raise for research go to the work at the University of Surrey and this has paid off handsomely. All our work over the last seven years has been geared to days like today – when we really do give men a better chance of beating prostate cancer."
