Hi I am a married working woman staying in a hostel. For the past two months I have been suffering from a urine infection. Please refer to my attached report. I am not able to understand and need proper guidance on what to do. I have already taken medication but I catch infection again just by using a common toilet. Please suggest?

Recurrent burning or infection after hostel toilets suggests persistent bacteria. Finish the full antibiotic course your doctor gives. Wear cotton underwear, drink plenty of water, and empty bladder right after using public toilets. Since you stay in hostel and public toilets ca not be avoided, make sure you flush and take proper precautions before using toilet. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated, if taking tablets ensure the given course is completed.

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?

My mother is 38 years old and has been suffering from urinary tract infections along with kidney stones for the past 3 years. Recently, most of the stones were removed, but a small stone remains.
