I am experiencing a strong and consistent urge to urinate frequently, even while I am already urinating. I have submitted a normal urine routine test report and also given a sample for urine culture. Please advise on what this might indicate and the next steps.

Since your urine report appears normal, the frequent urge to urinate may not be due to an active infection, but we should wait for the urine culture results to be sure. If the culture is negative and symptoms persist, other causes like bladder irritation or overactive bladder can be considered. In the meantime, try avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods, and observe if symptoms improve. Timed voiding or pelvic floor exercises may also help. If discomfort continues, a follow up with a urologist might be helpful for further evaluation.

View allMy father blood test showed a creatinine level of 9 and potassium level of 7.56, so the doctor advised immediate dialysis. He has undergone two dialysis sessions so far, one the day before yesterday and one today. The ultrasound report shows that both kidneys are normal in size and there are no stones. However, the urine report indicates elevated RBCs and pus cells. Now, the doctor is recommending a kidney biopsy. I would like to understand what the next steps should be and whether the biopsy is necessary at this stage.

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?

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.
