This suggests possible prostatitis or urethral colonization. May need antibiotics after full evaluation. Please take a urine culture and semen culture.

Hi all, I am attaching my mother urine RE and culture test report. Yesterday I got input here on the RE report but today we got the culture report. Can anyone please look at both reports again and give their valuable input? Thank you in advance. Note: She complained about burning while urinating, so we did these two tests on the recommendation of the doctor.

Two years ago she was operated for her uterus. She is a high blood pressure patient. She is suffering from knee and leg pain because she is an arthritis patient. I have attached her urine culture test report. Please suggest any medicine?

Hi Doctor, My sister urine report shows pus cells at 4 to 5 and epithelial cells at 7 to 8. I would like to know what this indicates and what steps should be taken next.
