I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend, after which I experienced a burning sensation while urinating and yellowish penile discharge. I got my penile discharge tested at a lab, and the report states No gonococci seen, few gram negative coccobacilli seen, and large number of pus cells seen. What does this mean? I consulted a doctor and took medication, and I have recovered, but I am still concerned because I do not understand my report. I have attached a copy of my report.

This suggests a bacterial urethritis, likely non gonococcal. Gram negative cocco bacilli may include organisms like E. coli. Large pus cells indicate active infection. Since symptoms improved with antibiotics, the infection is likely resolved, but safe sex practices and follow up STD screening are advisable.

Please review my report and let me know if I am suffering from a urinary tract infection. Also, could you explain what culture yields mixed growth of organisms, more than 10,000 CFU per ml (more than 3 types of bacteria grown) means?

Is a urine pH of 7.5 in an early morning sample considered normal? What is the ideal or healthy urine pH range? Should I consider any dietary changes based on this result?

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.
