I am experiencing a red rash outside the vagina along with painful urination. I had a urine test, which was positive for a bacterial infection. I also did a TORCH 8 test, and the result for CMV IgG is reactive at 285?U/mL. Could you please help me understand what exactly I am suffering from?

Painful urination, red rash, and positive urine test indicate urinary tract infection (UTI) or local irritation/infection. CMV IgG reactive means past infection with CMV it is not an active issue now. CMV IgM would be high in recent infection; yours is likely old immunity. UTI can be treated with the right antibiotics. Visit a gynaecologist if rash or pain continues.

Hi, I am having mild on and off pain in my penis and testicles. I am taking Roxscafe 500 antibiotic for infection for the past 3 days and I have been advised to take it for 7 days. Could you please check my urine report and tell me if everything is fine?

I have been suffering from this problem for the last 20 days. I got my urine report and it shows amorphous deposits in my urine. Albumin trace is present.
