Question 1

My urine culture shows E. coli resistant to many drugs, including ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. However, in a different, well established lab (operating since 1965), the same test done three times shows the bacteria are susceptible to these drugs. Which lab results should I trust? How is it possible to get two different results for the same bacteria? The prior lab used automated sensitivity testing, while the other lab reports in vitro DST results

How did I get bacteria in my urine?

Question 3

Before one year I had night fall which caused hurting or burning pain and after that I started getting urine symptoms. For one day I had burning while passing urine and change in urine flow. I drank a lot of water as advised, and urine burning stopped. But after a month, again, urine burning started, which stayed for some days and then went away. I get these symptoms for days, and then they come back again after a month. I have been facing this for one year. Four months ago, I had constipation, and at that time, I felt pain above the anus and hardness. Now I am getting burning while starting urine, but no burning after urine. While passing stool, urine burns, and it feels warm for around 10 to 15 minutes after pooping. Stool passes easily with no pain or burning, but some stool stays in. Is prostatitis causing this. Do I have prostatitis? I am very scared and stressed. My age is 21. I do not get any discharge from penis. My urine report shows acidic urine.

Your report shows radio opaque shadows near the left kidney and some calcifications around the DJ stent or double J stent. This may be due to small stones or calcified lymph nodes, which are usually not serious but should be reviewed by your urologist before stent removal.
