Question

Recently, I have been experiencing a burning sensation during urination and ejaculation. As advised by my general physician, I underwent a semen culture test. I have attached the report for your review. Could you please let me know if there is any significant infection, how serious it is, and what kind of treatment may be required?

Question

I have attached the medical report for your review. The findings mention that the walls of the bladder are thickened, and one kidney is smaller in size. I would like to understand what complications can arise from this condition, what treatment options are available, and what precautions should be taken. Is this a life threatening disease, or can it reduce my friend lifespan? Also, I am worried, will he have to spend the rest of his life bedridden?

Question

I have been suffering from a urinary infection for the last 4 to 5 days. My blood test report shows a urinary infection, and USG indicates hepatomegaly with a calyceal cyst in the left kidney. Please advise. I have started taking antibiotics. Will this be enough, or should I consult a superspecialist?
