Sounds like a recurrent urinary infection. Since symptoms return after stopping antibiotics, a deeper cause like prostate or bladder issue may need evaluation. Please get a urine culture to identify exact bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity. Repeat infection may need longer treatment.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - URINE (AUTOMATED) Test or Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test

My first urine sample shows blood and I am experiencing pain in the lower abdomen. However, my USG KUB report is clear, but the urine test indicates a UTI. Please review my report and suggest the best medicine to clear the UTI.

I have been having occasional pus cells in my urine report for the last one year. I would like to know the possible reason and course of action?

All path lab reports KFT, LFT, and lipid are normal. Even then I face the problem of frequent urination and weakness in the lower abdomen. Ultrasound report says prostate about 19 to 20 ml. Please guide.
