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

I am experiencing a burning sensation around my anal and urethral area for the past 24 hours, especially near the toilet and during urination. I also have itching in the same area. I have a small urinary stone, but after consulting two urologists, the burning persists. I have undergone ultrasound, blood, and urine tests, which were mostly normal. Which specialist should I consult next, urologist, proctologist (for piles/fissure), or another type of doctor?

I had annual tests done and am attaching my urine report. I want to know if it is normal. I am having pain in the lower abdomen, so I expected RBCs and casts to be absent, but they are nil. Is this okay?
