### Human:\n30 year old male with severe pain during urination until urine flows severe lower back pain fever of 103. 4. any ideas. the symptoms started around about 4 am january 15 at the start of urination the pain is so severe that i have to sit down to urinate. i dont have any drainage leaking or discharge. the skin surrounding the opening in the urethra is irritated and bright red. my urine color ranges from pale yellow to yellow-orange. for the past 4 days i have been drinking all natural juices mainly cranberry.\n\n### Assistant: i know this was a year ago so i'm answering it only because if someone else has similar symptoms he or she may see this. your description most closely matches that of a severe uti probably a raging kidney infection and if you didn't go to an emergency department of a local hospital for immediate treatment i hate to think what would have happened to you by now! i used to get them a lot; in fact last time i was in the hospital they discovered i had a uti. i hope you got treatment. anyone with your symptoms should consider them a true emergency. we human beings cannot live without our kidneys!
