My brother had complaints of frequent urination and mild scrotal pain. The doctor advised a flexible cystoscopy and the report showed Urethra: No stricture Prostate: Normal size with inflammation + Bladder: Normal BUO: Normal Impression: Prostatitis Three days later, a bladder urine report showed: Urine RE: Normal Urine culture & sensitivity: Colony count nil, culture sterile after 48 hours The doctor advised: Normal diet Plenty of fluids Tab Niftas 100 mg for 1 month Urispas for 2 days Tab Pause for 2 days Syrup Alkasol for 1 month After one month, on review, he was symptom free, so no further medicines were prescribed. Now, he has mild, ignorable scrotal pain for some days. What could be the cause? Could prostatitis recur? Can prostatitis cause prostate cancer? Please help

Yes, prostatitis can recur but does not directly cause prostate cancer. Avoid sitting long, hydrate well. Repeat urine test if symptoms persist.

I am G6PD deficient. Today, my urine test report shows pus cells (118) and signs of infection. Can I safely take Ofloxacin 200 mg for this urinary infection, or should I consider an alternative? Please advise.

I am experiencing a burning sensation while urinating and my urine appears yellow, two to three times a day. I have done this urine test three times, and the culture test is normal. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

Hi, my baby, 4 years old, has had a fever for the past 2 days and went for a urine test as he is passing urine frequently, almost every 30 minutes, drop by drop. Please find the report below and let us know if he has an infection?
