I'm a bit worried about my recent urine test results. It says there are 50 leukocytes in my urine. Does this indicate a mild, medium, or high infection? And should I be concerned about whether the infection is mild or severe? Got a test report too, if that helps. Would appreciate any advice.

I've been experiencing all kinds of sexual dysfunction for about 10 years now, which I think might be due to heavy masturbation. I've just started taking Youvan gold plus capsules from Patanjali. How long do you think it'll take for me to see some improvement? Is there anything else you think I should be trying or adding to my routine?
