I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend, after which I experienced a burning sensation while urinating and yellowish penile discharge. I got my penile discharge tested at a lab, and the report states No gonococci seen, few gram negative coccobacilli seen, and large number of pus cells seen. What does this mean? I consulted a doctor and took medication, and I have recovered, but I am still concerned because I do not understand my report. I have attached a copy of my report.

This suggests a bacterial urethritis, likely non gonococcal. Gram negative cocco bacilli may include organisms like E. coli. Large pus cells indicate active infection. Since symptoms improved with antibiotics, the infection is likely resolved, but safe sex practices and follow up STD screening are advisable.

I have 30 to 40 pus cells and 20 to 25 epithelial cells per hpf in my urine report. I am also experiencing nausea, occasional burning sensation during urination, and mild pain in the lower abdomen and sometimes on both sides of the flank. I am currently taking Nitrobact 100. I have attached my report for your reference.

Hi doctor, I had a urine routine test because I felt a mild burning sensation in the vaginal area. The report was almost normal, showing 4 to 6 pus cells and 2 to 4 epithelial cells. After a week of taking Niftas 100 mg tablet, I was feeling okay. I also had my period when I started taking this UTI medicine. On the 7th day of my menstrual flow, I did masturbation, and the next hour I saw a few blood spots. My flow had already stopped on the 5th day. Why is there spotting? Is it related to a serious health issue? I still feel mild itching and burning in the vaginal area. Is this an infection? I did another urine test today. The report shows pus cells 2 to 4, epithelial cells 6 to 8, and a few traces of protein (albumin). Please suggest if this is normal or if I need other medicine. I have attached both reports the first week and todays urine report. Please help me?
