Recently, I have been experiencing a burning sensation during urination and ejaculation. As advised by my general physician, I underwent a semen culture test. I have attached the report for your review. Could you please let me know if there is any significant infection, how serious it is, and what kind of treatment may be required?

Burning could be due to infection. Semen culture helps confirm if bacteria are present. Treatment is usually with antibiotics and often resolves with a proper course.

I am experiencing a red rash outside the vagina along with painful urination. I had a urine test, which was positive for a bacterial infection. I also did a TORCH 8 test, and the result for CMV IgG is reactive at 285?U/mL. Could you please help me understand what exactly I am suffering from?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Bacterial growth was found in my urine culture report. The drug sensitivity test report shows resistance to Norflox, Gara, Amikacin, Cyprobid, and Septran.

Is urine culture and sensitivity test report helpful for future to use antibiotics? There is an antibiotics list given in the report. Should we use only these antibiotics for UTI in future?
