Bacterial growth was found in my urine culture report. The drug sensitivity test report shows resistance to Norflox, Gara, Amikacin, Cyprobid, and Septran.

This indicates antibiotic resistance. Use the sensitive antibiotic listed in your report. Do the required follow up urine culture after treatment.

Question

I have been experiencing severe itching while urinating and need to go to the bathroom very frequently, about every 30 minutes. My urine test report came back normal. Could you please advise why this problem might be occurring?

Question

Hi Doctor, my father has type 2 diabetes, and his blood sugar was 270 mg per dL. He is currently on medication for diabetes. Over the past month, he has been experiencing frequent urination at night along with a burning sensation. These symptoms have occurred 2 to 3 times and tend to go away while he is on antibiotics, but they return once the antibiotics are stopped. An ultrasound of the lower abdomen revealed grade I fatty liver, a right renal cyst (1.2 by 1.1 cm), and grade I prostate enlargement (1.6 by 1.5 cm). Doctors have suggested that his urinary symptoms might be related to his diabetes. However, I would like to know if this could be a recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), whether diabetes is the main cause of his symptoms, and what the appropriate treatment should be. His renal function test (RFT) is normal. I am attaching the USG and urine reports for further evaluation.
