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.

I have been suffering from urination problems for the past four to five months. I urinate 8 to 10 times at night and pass more urine while sitting than standing. I went to the hospital, but my lab reports and USG are normal. The doctor advised taking Tab Cystone, but it has not cured me. Please advise, as I am suffering a lot.

I am experiencing burning sensation and pain in my abdomen along with white discharge. The lab report mentions blood present written in pen, but I am not sure what that means. I have attached my report, could you please help me understand the results and advise on what this might indicate?
