I have been suffering from frequent urination for the past 6 years. All tests, including cystoscopy, have been done. An E. coli infection was detected, and my urologist prescribed medication for 3 months, but it had no effect. I am 20 years old and also have constipation and excessive gas. How can this be treated?

Chronic urinary symptoms with E. coli and constipation may need gut focused approach. Treat gut first consider IBS, SIBO.

Please sir, tell me if there is any problem in my urine test report? I observed smoothness in urine and sometimes irritation, so I went for a urine test.

My mother, age 59, had itching near the urinary area along with white discharge. She is on medication for sugar and blood pressure. We visited a gynecologist and she told us to do a NILM Pap smear test. The report says reactive changes observed associated with inflammation and atrophy. What does this mean? The gynecologist is on a one week leave. Is it anything to worry about?

I had my STD test done. I am attaching my report and the medicines I took. After having oral sex (only fingering and licking), I drank a lot of water. Since the last 2 days, while peeing, some particles are coming out. What does this indicate? There is no itching or burning during urination. Please help me, I am stressed. I have completed my course of medicine. I am attaching my report and medicines I took.
