My father was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection and treated with cefox and augmentin. He recovered for one week but at that time pus cells and RBC were present in the urine report and TLC was 13900. Then after eight days fever repeated and TLC was 13000 but urine was clear. He was treated with ampicillin 500 four times. Now after eight days fever has repeated. What will be the cause? Urine culture is negative. There is some increase in the prostate. A stone is seen in the gallbladder. Every Monday fever repeats.

Recurrent fever with raised TLC but negative cultures may be due to prostatitis, gallbladder stones, or occult infections. Fever every Monday suggests cyclic inflammation. Prostate enlargement and gallstones need review. You must take a Prostate Ultrasound and Blood Culture to confirm the infection source.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test or Take a PSA Test (Prostatic Specific Antigen) Test

We are planning for a baby, and I have attached my report for your review. My motility rate is only 10 percent, and I am concerned whether this could be due to an infection. I would like to know if this condition can be treated and how much time it might take to improve.

My wife and I are actively trying for a baby, but every time we have unprotected sex, we end up with infections. Six months ago, we did urinalysis tests. The doctor suggested Cranpac D and Citralka for me, and my wife took Niftas 100 along with several other medications to eliminate bacteria. A few days ago, I started having back pain, and although I did not have typical urinary symptoms, I experienced a burning sensation at the tip of my urine. After a few days, my wife developed painful urination. We both started taking Niftas and Urispas. My wife is feeling better now, but I am experiencing pain in my testicles and pelvic area, like a pulling sensation. The pain is bearable, but I need help to completely get rid of this. I have decided to avoid sexual activity for now, and we both want proper treatment. Please advise on how we can effectively treat this condition.
