Is it normal to have no bacteria present if there's a history of urine infections? I've had kidney stones last year and have had urine infections 2 or 3 times. Should I be worried or is this within the normal range?

Based on your history of recurrent urine infections and a kidney stone last year, it is important to monitor your urine parameters closely. A normal urine test should not show any bacteria present. To prevent further infections, you can consider taking cranberry supplements or D-mannose powder to help maintain urinary tract health. Additionally, you can ask your doctor about prescribing you with a low-dose antibiotic such as Nitrofurantoin to take after intercourse or as a prophylactic treatment. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney health and prevent future complications.

I've been having to urinate really frequently, and it's getting frustrating. I did a KUB ultrasound, and it showed that my prostate isn't enlarged, but my urine flow is still really poor. I'm currently taking velfu and macpee, but they don't seem to be helping with the flow. What kind of treatment would you suggest for this? I'm only 32, so I'm a bit worried about what's going on.
