Sounds like a recurrent urinary infection. Since symptoms return after stopping antibiotics, a deeper cause like prostate or bladder issue may need evaluation. Please get a urine culture to identify exact bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity. Repeat infection may need longer treatment.

Question

Dear sir, I have a frequent urination problem for the last two years. It does not occur continuously but comes quarter wise. Since the last two weeks it has started again and in the daytime every one hour I need to go for urination. My kidney stones have come out and on Saturday I checked with another doctor. My blood report and urine report are also fine. Please suggest sir.

Question

I have been suffering from a urinary infection for one month. I am under treatment but feel very weak, have no appetite, feel nauseous, and am always sleepy. My blood report shows Leucocytes 14,600 per cu.mm, C Reactive Protein is 162, and urine as sediment present.

Question

I suspect I might have a kidney infection. My urine report shows albumin +++, RBCs are plenty, pus cells 3 to 4 per hpf, epithelial cells 1 to 2 per hpf, UBG 1+, BLD plus minus, PRO 3+, and LEU 3+. Could you please guide me on what this indicates and the next steps I should take?
