My urine culture report showed an infection, and I was prescribed Taxim and Urispas by a doctor. While I was on the medication, my symptoms were under control. However, today the symptoms have returned. I am experiencing burning during urination, urine leakage, abdominal discomfort, and mood irritation. The urine leakage is quite a lot and is making me very uneasy. Could you please guide me on what steps to take next?

You may have a persistent or resistant urinary tract infection. A repeat culture is needed to alter the antibiotic course. Meanwhile, stay hydrated, drink cranberry juice and follow up with a urologist. Also, maintain hygiene.

Question

My wife is currently pregnant. One month ago, she experienced abdominal pain, and a scan confirmed a urinary tract infection, which resolved within 3 to 4 days with medication. Since then, we have not had sexual intercourse. Can we now have sex normally during her pregnancy? For context, she is eating normally, does not have vomiting, her hemoglobin is 12, blood pressure is normal, and her doctor has confirmed everything is fine. She is following a healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, eggs, and leafy greens, and currently has no other issues. I would like a detailed explanation regarding safety and precautions.

Question

Hello. I am 28 years old. My urine test report shows PUS cells 6 to 8 per hpf, RBC 3 to 4 per hpf, plenty of epithelial cells, occasional bacteria, trace blood, and specific gravity 1.010. My doctor told me I have a UTI and prescribed URISPAS, ZANOCIN 200, and ALKASOL liquid. Please suggest the procedure to treat my condition and let me know if there is any risk factor if I try to conceive?

Question

Hi Doctor, for the past five days I have been suffering from a urinary infection. The doctor at the nearest hospital advised me to undergo a urine routine and culture test. The routine test came out normal, and the culture report is still awaited. Meanwhile, I had an ultrasound done, which suggested cystitis and an ovarian cyst on the right side. I am yet to consult the doctor with these reports tomorrow. I am experiencing nocturia and feel my bladder is full even after urinating. Frequent urination is very annoying. I am currently taking Zenflox 200. Please suggest what should be done?
