I am experiencing a red rash outside the vagina along with painful urination. I had a urine test, which was positive for a bacterial infection. I also did a TORCH 8 test, and the result for CMV IgG is reactive at 285?U/mL. Could you please help me understand what exactly I am suffering from?

Painful urination, red rash, and positive urine test indicate urinary tract infection (UTI) or local irritation/infection. CMV IgG reactive means past infection with CMV it is not an active issue now. CMV IgM would be high in recent infection; yours is likely old immunity. UTI can be treated with the right antibiotics. Visit a gynaecologist if rash or pain continues.

Sir, I drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily, but I pass only about 700 to 800 ml of urine per day. A few days ago, I had a kidney infection, but now my reports are normal. Both urine routine and culture tests are normal. What could be the reason?

I have done laser surgery indoors before 1.5 months ago and JJ stent was given. Doctor suggested KUB X ray and urine culture sensitivity for stent removal. My report is radio opaque is seen in left renal area, right sided DJ stent is seen, few radio opacities appear to be calcified lymph node or faecoliths. What does this mean? Is this report normal or not? Please let me know sir, I am very worried for this.

I have been experiencing constant urethral pain for the past two months. After consulting a doctor, I underwent a urine flow test, and based on the results, I was prescribed Levoflox and Alfoo for one month, followed by Alfoo alone for another month. Despite completing the medications, the pain has not reduced. Please advise on what can be done to overcome this problem.
