Symptoms of a UTI?
Since the day before yesterday I've had frequent urinary urgency. Sometimes I feel like I need to pee even when my bladder isn't full. There's been mild burning toward the end of urination, which has improved today. I now have a mild pain in the centre/lower abdomen just above the pubic area. I had intercourse two days ago with my regular partner.
My burning and urinary urgency have reduced, but I've now developed constant right-sided flank/waist pain with waves of cramping, around 5/10. I don't have a fever or vomiting currently. And I don't have any allergies or past treatments

This started as a classic post-coital lower UTI - urgency, burning at the end of urination, suprapubic pain. What worries me is the new constant right flank and waist pain: that is the pattern of the infection climbing up to the kidney (pyelonephritis), and it can happen even before fever appears. This is not a wait-and-watch situation any more. You need urine routine plus culture and a proper course of antibiotics started today, chosen after examining you - not a single-dose over-the-counter tablet.
Next Steps
See a physician today for urine routine/microscopy, urine culture and an ultrasound KUB, and start antibiotics under supervision. Drink 3 litres of water, pass urine after intercourse. Go to the ER if fever with chills, vomiting, blood in urine or worsening flank pain begins. You can consult me on Practo or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj with your reports.

Hello it started as a bladder infection with urgency, burning, and lower abdominal pain, which can be common after intercourse, but the new constant right-sided flank/waist pain with cramping is more concerning and could suggest the infection has moved toward the kidneys or another issue like a stone. Since you don’t have fever or vomiting right now that’s good, but flank pain shouldn’t be ignored. I recommend seeing a healthcare professional today for a urine test and exam to rule out a kidney infection or other cause, and go to urgent care/ER right away if you develop fever, chills, vomiting, worsening pain, or blood in urine. In the meantime, stay well hydrated and avoid holding your urine. If any problem consult on practo
