Hi Doctor, my father has type 2 diabetes, and his blood sugar was 270 mg per dL. He is currently on medication for diabetes. Over the past month, he has been experiencing frequent urination at night along with a burning sensation. These symptoms have occurred 2 to 3 times and tend to go away while he is on antibiotics, but they return once the antibiotics are stopped. An ultrasound of the lower abdomen revealed grade I fatty liver, a right renal cyst (1.2 by 1.1 cm), and grade I prostate enlargement (1.6 by 1.5 cm). Doctors have suggested that his urinary symptoms might be related to his diabetes. However, I would like to know if this could be a recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), whether diabetes is the main cause of his symptoms, and what the appropriate treatment should be. His renal function test (RFT) is normal. I am attaching the USG and urine reports for further evaluation.

Diabetes can indeed cause frequent urination. The USG shows mild prostate enlargement and small kidney cysts, which are common at his age. Good sugar control and hydration are key.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a PSA Test (Prostatic Specific Antigen) Test

My wife is 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. On 31st August, her urine report indicates a trace of protein. Earlier, on 19th August, there was no trace of protein in the urine. Is this a matter of serious concern?
