Hi, Three years ago, I completed treatment for pulmonary TB. For the past 10 days, I have been experiencing urinary irritation (feeling the urge but unable to pass urine properly) along with a dragging pain in the lower abdomen. Could you please advise which tests I should undergo before visiting a doctor?

Past TB can cause urinary tract scarring. Current symptoms suggest UTI or bladder irritation. Urine tests are first step. If persists, consider USG and urologist review.

Question

My father has been suffering from a urine infection for one week. He underwent circumcision surgery on August 13th. Currently, he has an infection around the penis, scrotum, and surrounding area, with redness and significant swelling. He also has ulcers all over his tongue and throat. The surgeon who operated on him mentioned that the infection is spreading and recommended injections for faster recovery, which he said would treat both the urine infection and the infection around the penis. I am attaching his prescription and urine report for your review. Please let me know if these medications are appropriate. Also, he is diabetic, and his blood sugar was 180 when last checked at home.
