Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the symptoms you've provided, here are a few possibilities:
-
Diabetes Mellitus: This is a condition where your body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't effectively use the insulin it does produce. Increased urination and sweet-smelling urine are common symptoms of high blood sugar levels, which is a characteristic of diabetes. Other symptoms can include numbness or tingling, vision changes, and nausea.
- Diagnosis often involves blood tests to check your sugar levels. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes and sometimes medication to manage blood sugar levels.
-
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): This is an infection in any part of your urinary system, which includes your kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, but some are caused by viruses and fungi. Increased frequency of urination is a common symptom, though usually accompanied by pain or burning sensation during urination, which you did not mention.
- Diagnosis usually involves a urine test. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection.
Please note that these are just possibilities and not a definitive diagnosis. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
What you can do
- Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional: They can provide a formal assessment and order relevant tests if necessary.
- Monitor your symptoms: Keep track of any changes or new symptoms. This information can be helpful to your healthcare provider.

- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
