Question 1

How accurate are UTI test strips?

Question 2

My urine culture report showed an infection, and I was prescribed Taxim and Urispas by a doctor. While I was on the medication, my symptoms were under control. However, today the symptoms have returned. I am experiencing burning during urination, urine leakage, abdominal discomfort, and mood irritation. The urine leakage is quite a lot and is making me very uneasy. Could you please guide me on what steps to take next?

Question 3

I am having lower abdominal pain, backache, and weak legs. My menstrual cycle is regular and was completed a week ago. I get these pains during my period also but they used to subside after the period. This month I am experiencing it a lot. I am not able to sleep properly or do my work properly. I am taking meftal spasm tablet twice daily but there are no results. I was diagnosed with UTI in February. I am afraid if it is a sign of recurring UTI though I do not have other signs related to urination like pain while peeing or fever. I have attached CBC and urine report which I have done recently.

Hi, I have received a test report recommended for prostatitis symptoms, with the following observations: Occasional pus cells Occasional Gram positive cocci Culture shows urethral contaminants Could you please help me understand what this implies? Thank you in advance.

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