Hi I am 21 years old woman, in the past I suffered from urinary tract infection. It was cured with ciprofloxacin and fosfomycin by my doc 1-2 years ago. It recovered and my complaints ended. But occasionally I have now burning sensation in my urethra. It is not like my old uti experience I don't have fever-shaking etc only I feel hot and burning after peeing. It is not always, only reoccurs when I don't drink enough water and when I consume spices, especially alcohol and mostly in winters. When I don't consume them, keeping my feet warm, I feel comfortable and with the winter's coming the symptoms renewed. Is it something chronic, sti or bladder disease? What could it be? Thanks for helping.

Yes, dehydration will lead to an uti especially in women because of the short urethral length. It is almost the starting stage of a uti. The only way to prevent it is by drinking plenty of fluids and staying hydrated. Even after alcohol consumption, it is advisable to consume 1 litre of water to prevent dehydration early in the morning, which will lead to burning sensation after passing urine and can develop into a fever and later on septicemia if untreated. It is best to prevent in the beginning.
