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.

Sir, I drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily, but I pass only about 700 to 800 ml of urine per day. A few days ago, I had a kidney infection, but now my reports are normal. Both urine routine and culture tests are normal. What could be the reason?

I have had rough patches in my mouth for 15 days and feel a burning sensation in my penis after urination. My urine report shows the reaction as acidic.

I have leucocytes and erythrocytes detected in my urine sample. Previously, my protein and potassium levels were also high, but those are now under control. I have attached my report for your review. Could you please help me understand what the problem might be?
