Question 1

My wife is currently pregnant. One month ago, she experienced abdominal pain, and a scan confirmed a urinary tract infection, which resolved within 3 to 4 days with medication. Since then, we have not had sexual intercourse. Can we now have sex normally during her pregnancy? For context, she is eating normally, does not have vomiting, her hemoglobin is 12, blood pressure is normal, and her doctor has confirmed everything is fine. She is following a healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, eggs, and leafy greens, and currently has no other issues. I would like a detailed explanation regarding safety and precautions.

Question 2

My 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.

Question 3

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?

I am having lower abdomen pain and discomfort after urination. I did a urine test. Please see my report. Do I have any infection or any problem?

Lower abdominal pain post urination could indicate UTI or bladder irritation. Please ensure urine culture is done. Stay hydrated and consult if pain persists.
