Persistent UTI with diabetes needs further testing. A urine culture can help find the right medicine. Keep sugar levels in check to help recovery.

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test or Take a Glucose Fasting and PP Test Test

Question

Dear sir, I have a frequent urination problem for the last two years. It does not occur continuously but comes quarter wise. Since the last two weeks it has started again and in the daytime every one hour I need to go for urination. My kidney stones have come out and on Saturday I checked with another doctor. My blood report and urine report are also fine. Please suggest sir.

Question

My routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?

Question

I am currently having a UTI, and I have done a urine report and urine culture. I have been taking medicines for the last 15 to 20 days, but still have frequent urination and lower abdomen or stomach pain. Earlier, there were antibiotics, but now another dose is prescribed without antibiotics. Will doing panchakarma help to cure UTI?
