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 urine report shows that I tested positive for bacteria, and the urine appears hazy. Could you please let me know what this means? Should I be concerned, and what steps should I take next? Is this a serious issue?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.

My father has been suffering from a urine infection for one week. He underwent circumcision surgery on August 13th. Currently, he has an infection around the penis, scrotum, and surrounding area, with redness and significant swelling. He also has ulcers all over his tongue and throat. The surgeon who operated on him mentioned that the infection is spreading and recommended injections for faster recovery, which he said would treat both the urine infection and the infection around the penis. I am attaching his prescription and urine report for your review. Please let me know if these medications are appropriate. Also, he is diabetic, and his blood sugar was 180 when last checked at home.
