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.

My urine culture report showed an infection, and I was prescribed Taxim and Urispas by a doctor. While I was on the medication, my symptoms were under control. However, today the symptoms have returned. I am experiencing burning during urination, urine leakage, abdominal discomfort, and mood irritation. The urine leakage is quite a lot and is making me very uneasy. Could you please guide me on what steps to take next?

I am experiencing a strong and consistent urge to urinate frequently, even while I am already urinating. I have submitted a normal urine routine test report and also given a sample for urine culture. Please advise on what this might indicate and the next steps.

I am experiencing difficulty controlling my bladder, with urine leakage occurring before I can reach the bathroom. My PSA test report shows no issues with the prostate, and a urine flow test was done a month ago. Could you please suggest a remedy for this condition?
