Hi, I am a 36 year old female. I developed a urinary tract infection last week and am currently taking antibiotics for it. During the infection, I experienced fever, shivering, and significant weakness. My urine report showed protein as well as a large number of pus cells. Can a UTI cause protein to appear in the urine?

Yes, protein in urine during UTI is common due to kidney inflammation or infection related stress. It usually resolves after treatment. If protein persists post UTI, kidney evaluation is needed. Complete the antibiotic course and re test urine after recovery.

I have attached my urine report, and the doctor mentioned there is an infection. I have been advised to take IV fluids and injections in the morning and evening, with only a general consultation mentioned. I am a 33 year old and feeling a bit worried. Could you please review the report

I am experiencing genital itching, difficulty moving the foreskin, and slight swelling of the penis. Additionally, I have noticed a white spot on my right hand. What could be the possible cause of these symptoms?
