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?

Urine culture with sensitivity helps choose the right antibiotic for a current UTI. However, bacteria and resistance patterns may change, so do not reuse the same antibiotics without a new test if symptoms return. Use antibiotics only when prescribed.

I had annual tests done and am attaching my urine report. I want to know if it is normal. I am having pain in the lower abdomen, so I expected RBCs and casts to be absent, but they are nil. Is this okay?

Dear doctor, I am feeling mild pain while urinating. A CUE test was done and I am attaching my report. I also feel mild pain in my right testicle. Please help me with this problem.
