I have been experiencing burning after urination for the past 10 months. The problem is intermittent, sometimes it resolves for a few days and then comes back. Earlier, a culture test showed UTI, and I was treated with antibiotics. Along with burning, I also sometimes have frequent urination. My doctor did a rectal exam and said this is chronic prostatitis. I am currently taking Flotral and will be starting Urispas from today. A KUB ultrasound has also been advised again (the last one, about 7 months ago, only showed mild segmentation). Please suggest what I should do next.

Burning after urination with intermittent frequency can occur in chronic prostatitis, as your doctor mentioned. Continuing Flotral and Urispas as advised is appropriate. A KUB ultrasound is good to recheck for stones or prostate changes. If symptoms persist, a Urine Culture and PSA test may help in further evaluation. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and spicy foods to reduce irritation.

Question

I am having lower abdominal pain, backache, and weak legs. My menstrual cycle is regular and was completed a week ago. I get these pains during my period also but they used to subside after the period. This month I am experiencing it a lot. I am not able to sleep properly or do my work properly. I am taking meftal spasm tablet twice daily but there are no results. I was diagnosed with UTI in February. I am afraid if it is a sign of recurring UTI though I do not have other signs related to urination like pain while peeing or fever. I have attached CBC and urine report which I have done recently.

Question

Hello Sir/Mam, I am attaching my urine routine test report. It shows 1+ hpf bacteria. What does this mean?

Question

I have been suffering from a urinary infection for the last 4 to 5 days. My blood test report shows a urinary infection, and USG indicates hepatomegaly with a calyceal cyst in the left kidney. Please advise. I have started taking antibiotics. Will this be enough, or should I consult a superspecialist?
