Dear respected doctors, I have been facing reduced urine output. When I drink water, it takes 1 or 2 hours to urinate. Earlier, it used to take hardly 15 to 20 minutes, but now it is sometimes normal and sometimes very little. My water intake is approximately 2 liters. Recently, my blood test showed urea 18.9 mg/dl and serum creatinine 0.60. USG KUB shows fatty liver grade 1, mild features of PCOD, and a simple renal cortical cyst measuring 35x40 mm. My question is, are any of these findings causing this trouble or do I have a kidney problem? Please provide appropriate guidance.

Your blood urea and creatinine are normal, indicating good kidney function currently. A simple renal cortical cyst usually does not affect urination unless it is very large, which your size is not concerning. Mild PCOD and fatty liver do not directly affect urine flow. Variable urine timing may be due to hydration levels, weather, or mild hormonal factors. Increase water intake to 2.5 to 3 liters if possible and monitor urine output. You can book a Urine Routine and Microscopy test to check for infections or other urine related issues.

My blood sugar was around 342 (average of the last three months), and because of this, I have been having a burning sensation while urinating for the past two months. I have already started medications for blood sugar. As per my last check, my fasting blood sugar was 89, and the average of the last three months with medication is 250. Hence, the medicines are working, but I am not getting relief from the burning sensation. I am taking Neftas as suggested by my doctor, and I feel fine while on it, but after 3 to 4 days of stopping Neftas, the burning sensation returns. Please suggest what I am missing and why I am having this issue repeatedly?

I have had a 6 mm kidney stone for the past 2 years. I do not experience severe pain, but my recent urine analysis shows 8 to 10 red blood cells per high power field. Please find my urine analysis report attached. What does this indicate, and what should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

This is the fourth time this year I am experiencing frequent urination. Previously, I visited a physician who prescribed antibiotics, and the issue went away for a while, but it keeps recurring. I have attached my urine report. Please suggest what I should do.
