Question 1

My father has been suffering from a urine infection for one week. He underwent circumcision surgery on August 13th. Currently, he has an infection around the penis, scrotum, and surrounding area, with redness and significant swelling. He also has ulcers all over his tongue and throat. The surgeon who operated on him mentioned that the infection is spreading and recommended injections for faster recovery, which he said would treat both the urine infection and the infection around the penis. I am attaching his prescription and urine report for your review. Please let me know if these medications are appropriate. Also, he is diabetic, and his blood sugar was 180 when last checked at home.

Question 2

Hi I am a married working woman staying in a hostel. For the past two months I have been suffering from a urine infection. Please refer to my attached report. I am not able to understand and need proper guidance on what to do. I have already taken medication but I catch infection again just by using a common toilet. Please suggest?

Question 3

My mother is 74 years old and last week had a urinary tract infection. She took antibiotics and Citralka for 5 days. Now she is feeling better. Her latest urine R/E test report is enclosed. Please advise?

I have done a routine urine test. My nitrite level shows positive. What does it mean? Please suggest.

Positive nitrite in urine usually indicates a bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI), commonly due to E. coli. If you have burning or frequent urination, consult a doctor. Start antibiotics only after doing a Urine Culture. Drink 2 to 3L water daily.
