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?

Respected mam, I have attached my urine report. Can NFT be cured? Is it something critical or just a simple infection?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Sir, I would like to test my urine to check information about my liver, kidney, and blood sugar, as I have a Railway ALP medical examination in one month. I want to get these tests done beforehand. Could you please advise where and how I should get these tests done, the best approach, and the approximate cost?
