You ask her about the nature of the pain, when it started, and whether she has any other symptoms.\n\n\u0022Hmm... I\u0027d call it a burning pain. I\u0027ve had it for about a week or two, I think? It was fairly mild at first, but it\u0027s slowly become worse. Oh \u2013 and my bladder always feels full,\u0022 she responds.\n\nYou ask if she\u0027s experienced redness or irritation around the genitals or unusual vaginal discharge. She replies in the negative. You also find out that she was completely healthy before this; and that she is not on any medications, including over-the-counter drugs or supplements.\n\nYou gently question Tara about her personal life. You learn that she has had a single stable sexual partner for the last 5 years. They use barrier contraception, while she is also on oral contraceptives. Her partner is in good health, and has no urinary or genital symptoms.\n\nTara has never smoked and doesn\u0027t drink anymore. \u0022I did drink heavily while I was in university, but I guess I grew out of it!\u0022 she says. There is no history of recreational drug use. She takes regular exercise and maintains a healthy, balanced diet.\n\nYou ask her about her family\u0027s health, and she states that her father had a \u0022mild heart attack\u0022 at the age of 60, around an year ago. He is still alive and on regular treatment.\n"}]}
