Depending on stone size and location, small stones less than 5 mm can often pass with increased fluids and medications like potassium citrate. Pain control is important too. Stones greater than 7 mm may need further intervention e.g., lithotripsy. Avoid highcoxalate foods, drink 2.5 to 3L water daily. Follow up to track size.

Question

I had a urine test done at the doctor which was positive for leukocyte esterase and nitrites. However, the culture came back with no bacteria detected. Does this mean I do not have a UTI? What could be other causes for the pain and positive results in my urine test?

Question

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.

Question

I have been suffering from frequent urination for the past 6 years. All tests, including cystoscopy, have been done. An E. coli infection was detected, and my urologist prescribed medication for 3 months, but it had no effect. I am 20 years old and also have constipation and excessive gas. How can this be treated?
