Dear Doctor, I have been diagnosed with a UTI and have attached my blood reports. Could you please help me understand what the reports indicate? I would also like to know what steps I should take next. I prefer to avoid medications if possible. Are there any home remedies that could help? Thank you.

If urine report confirms UTI, antibiotics are the mainstay. Home remedies (hydration, cranberry, hygiene) help mild or early infections but not full-blown ones. Avoid delaying treatment as it may worsen.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a Urine Culture Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Question

How do I cure a urinary tract infection (UTI) fast?

My mother is 38 years old and has been suffering from urinary tract infections along with kidney stones for the past 3 years. Recently, most of the stones were removed, but a small stone remains. She now experiences very frequent urination. Her recent urine report shows the presence of albumin, low urine volume of 20 ml, amber coloured urine with a turbid appearance, aromatic odor, and sediment containing red blood cells and pus cells in full field. Given these symptoms and lab findings, please advise on the best approach to treat her condition permanently.
