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.

My routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?

I have been experiencing belly pain for the last week. I have done an ultrasound and urine test, but the reports have not come yet. The pain occurs on either side of the belly at times, especially after using the toilet.
