Hello,
Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.
The symptoms does not seem to be all related to a single cause or diagnosis. I would say there are two sets of symptoms we are dealing with.
1. The upper GI - or the stomach symptoms
2. The Urinary Symptoms.
I am curious to know why your Doctor mentioned that your liver is strained. 1.Do you have the test results with you now ?
2.Do you take pain medications on a regular basis ? Do you consume alcohol daily ?
3. Are you sexually active and at risk for STD ?
4. Was an urine culture done ?
5. And did the medications for heartburn help you ?
These additional information will help you in forming a more learned opinion. You can reply as a followup
Thank you
Patient replied :
I don't have the tests with me right now. But the second tests did not show anything wrong with my liver and doctor said it was fine. I am sexually active and did have a new partner about three months ago. I was scared it could be an STD but doctor tested me for gonorrhea and chlamydia and it was negative. I am not taking any medications right now and the heartburn medicine they had given me was pantoprazole 40mg and i only took it for a short while because it seemed to make me feel worse. My stomach feels better and not much heartburn lately. The thing that is bothering me is peeing so frequently and so much. LAst week I went to my gyno and he took a urine sample to test for UTI and he said it came back within normal levels. So I don't know what it could be. thank you
Hello,
Thank you for the additional details.
Your symptoms are bit non specific . By non specific I am not saying they are not significant, but that they do not point towards a single diagnosis . The stomach symptoms were due to a stomach bug (viral gastroenteritis ) causing a temporary stomach upset, including ulcer like manifestation. The heartburn is typical of that . If the stomach symptoms persist you should take Pantoprazole for 14 days.
The urinary symptoms - you can judiciously wait and watch for a couple of weeks. Most cases it should resolve by itsown. There is nothing much to worry if the blood and urie tests are normal. I hope you Blood Sugars are also normal. If the symptoms persists beyond 2 weeks you will need to repaeat the STD tests + Urine Culture..
Hope this helps
Thank you
