I recently underwent urine analysis and urine culture. The report mentions only commensals grown. Could you please explain what this means? Is my report considered normal? Additionally, I have a wound at the meatus and would like to know if this is related or something I should be concerned about.

Commensal growth means no infection, just normal urinary bacteria. If you have burning or pain due to a wound near the urinary opening, it could be mechanical or fungal. Keep the area clean, avoid friction, and monitor for pus or fever.
