Hi Doctor, my father has type 2 diabetes, and his blood sugar was 270 mg per dL. He is currently on medication for diabetes. Over the past month, he has been experiencing frequent urination at night along with a burning sensation. These symptoms have occurred 2 to 3 times and tend to go away while he is on antibiotics, but they return once the antibiotics are stopped. An ultrasound of the lower abdomen revealed grade I fatty liver, a right renal cyst (1.2 by 1.1 cm), and grade I prostate enlargement (1.6 by 1.5 cm). Doctors have suggested that his urinary symptoms might be related to his diabetes. However, I would like to know if this could be a recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), whether diabetes is the main cause of his symptoms, and what the appropriate treatment should be. His renal function test (RFT) is normal. I am attaching the USG and urine reports for further evaluation.

Diabetes can indeed cause frequent urination. The USG shows mild prostate enlargement and small kidney cysts, which are common at his age. Good sugar control and hydration are key.

Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a PSA Test (Prostatic Specific Antigen) Test

Hi, I am Vimal. I had premarital sex a year ago. I took all the tests, and all were negative. However, I still have lower abdominal pain and penile pain while urinating. I also have white discharge from my penis. I feel I may be affected with an STD. Please check my report and provide clear guidance? Thank you.

I am experiencing a strong and consistent urge to urinate frequently, even while I am already urinating. I have submitted a normal urine routine test report and also given a sample for urine culture. Please advise on what this might indicate and the next steps.
