Hi, Three years ago, I completed treatment for pulmonary TB. For the past 10 days, I have been experiencing urinary irritation (feeling the urge but unable to pass urine properly) along with a dragging pain in the lower abdomen. Could you please advise which tests I should undergo before visiting a doctor?

Past TB can cause urinary tract scarring. Current symptoms suggest UTI or bladder irritation. Urine tests are first step. If persists, consider USG and urologist review.

I am suffering from a UTI and today I went through an ultrasound. Everything is normal, but the impression says mild pelvic inflammatory disease. I am unable to understand what it is. I am sharing my report too. Please let me know what it is?

I am currently having a UTI, and I have done a urine report and urine culture. I have been taking medicines for the last 15 to 20 days, but still have frequent urination and lower abdomen or stomach pain. Earlier, there were antibiotics, but now another dose is prescribed without antibiotics. Will doing panchakarma help to cure UTI?

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.
