A member asked:
I feel i have a uti. had it before, same symptoms - severe pain, pain when peeing & bleeding. can u pls prescribe antibiotics?

No: A healthcare professional cannot prescribe antibiotics without performing a history and physical examination. In your case, a urinalysis and culture would also be done. Without these things, there can be no prescription for antibiotics.
