Two days back I had frequent urination every half an hour. After taking metronidazole for 2 days it is improving but earlier I had some bladder pain with inflammation. My urine test report is normal but I did not do a urine culture test. Inside my penis there is a burning sensation. Is any problem occurring?

Burning and frequent urination can suggest urethritis or prostatitis, even with a normal urine report. Since it improved with metronidazole, the infection is likely. However, a urine culture is essential to rule out resistant infection.

A few days after having unprotected sex, I started experiencing a burning sensation while urinating. My partner is also having similar issues, including kidney pain and some abnormal values in her blood report, such as a high pH level. Based on these symptoms, I suspect it might be a urinary tract infection for both of us.

I have had yellow urine and a burning sensation while urinating for the past 8 months. It started with a bacterial infection, but two months ago the infection cleared, and my blood culture report came normal. However, my urine is still yellow for the last two months. I am attaching my report. I also have Neeri syrup, can I try it? If yes, how should I take it?
