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.

Can I have a urinary infection for years without knowing it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

We are planning for a baby, and I have attached my report for your review. My motility rate is only 10 percent, and I am concerned whether this could be due to an infection. I would like to know if this condition can be treated and how much time it might take to improve.
