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.

Dear Doctor, I have been diagnosed with a UTI and have attached my blood reports. Could you please help me understand what the reports indicate? I would also like to know what steps I should take next. I prefer to avoid medications if possible. Are there any home remedies that could help? Thank you.

I am having UTI for the last 25 days and now my urine report shows presence of epithelial cells 1 to 2 per hpf and pus cells 5 to 6 per hpf. I have already taken levofloxacin for 20 days as per doctors advice. Kindly suggest what to do now? I was also recently detected with diabetes. My age is 69 years male.

I am suffering from a UTI and today I went through an ultrasound. Everything is normal, but the impression says mild pelvic inflammatory disease. I am unable to understand what it is. I am sharing my report too. Please let me know what it is?
