If urine routine is normal and there are no symptoms burning, fever, frequency, urine culture is usually not needed. However, if symptoms persist, a culture can help identify hidden infection.

Hi, I am Vimal. I had premarital sex a year ago. I took all the tests, and all were negative. However, I still have lower abdominal pain and penile pain while urinating. I also have white discharge from my penis. I feel I may be affected with an STD. Please check my report and provide clear guidance? Thank you.

Question

Hi I am having pain in my stomach for the last few weeks. I took medication but did not recover much. I am still having mild but continuous pain in my lower abdomen and frequent pain in my penis. The pain gets worse if I do not have water for half an hour or more. I have attached my report. Can you please help me to know if there is any case of stone or urine infection and why my pain is not relieved?
