It sounds like Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Posted: 06-08-08 19:47pm

The symptoms for a UTI may include: the need to urinate more often, but only a little bit comes out; pain or burning with urination; cloudy or smelly urine; blood in the urine; lower back pain.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is not a sexually transmitted infection. It is a bacterial infection of the bladder and the urethra. The bladder is the sac that holds urine and the urethra is the tube that carries urine out of the bladder. A UTI is also known as a bladder infection or cystitis.

A UTI is usually caused by bacteria from the bowels. These bacteria can be spread to the urethra when a woman has vaginal or oral sex, or when she wipes herself with toilet paper. It is a common infection with women because the opening of the urethra is very close to the vaginal and anal openings.

Please see the doctor as soon as possible.

All the best

Your girlfriend may also be having a kidney stone or an obstruction such as UPJ or UVJ.
Has she seen her doctor?
