I have been experiencing burning after urination for the past 10 months. The problem is intermittent, sometimes it resolves for a few days and then comes back. Earlier, a culture test showed UTI, and I was treated with antibiotics. Along with burning, I also sometimes have frequent urination. My doctor did a rectal exam and said this is chronic prostatitis. I am currently taking Flotral and will be starting Urispas from today. A KUB ultrasound has also been advised again (the last one, about 7 months ago, only showed mild segmentation). Please suggest what I should do next.

Burning after urination with intermittent frequency can occur in chronic prostatitis, as your doctor mentioned. Continuing Flotral and Urispas as advised is appropriate. A KUB ultrasound is good to recheck for stones or prostate changes. If symptoms persist, a Urine Culture and PSA test may help in further evaluation. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and spicy foods to reduce irritation.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a Urine Culture Test Test or Take a PSA Test (Prostatic Specific Antigen) Test

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.

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.
