When to see a doctor

Contact your doctor or make an appointment if:

• Your painful urination persists
• You have drainage or discharge from your penis or vagina
• Your urine is foul-smelling or cloudy, or you see blood in your urine
• You have a fever
• You have back pain or pain in your side (flank pain)
• You pass a kidney or bladder (urinary tract) stone

If you're pregnant, tell your doctor about any pain you have when you urinate.
