I sometimes experience a burning sensation while urinating and also after ejaculation, along with persistent itching on the penis. I read that these can be symptoms of a UTI. Should I get a urine test done first, or directly schedule an appointment with a urologist?

Burning while urinating and itching can be due to a UTI or mild infection. It is a good idea to get a Urine Routine and Urine Culture test first before visiting a urologist, as it helps in diagnosis and speeds up treatment. Drink plenty of water and maintain hygiene. If fever, severe pain, or blood in urine occurs, see a doctor immediately.

Urine test report for my 10 month old baby shows pus cells 2 to 3 and epithelial cells 3 to 4. Is there any infection in her urine, as she takes a 12 hour gap to pass urine?
