My blood sugar was around 342 (average of the last three months), and because of this, I have been having a burning sensation while urinating for the past two months. I have already started medications for blood sugar. As per my last check, my fasting blood sugar was 89, and the average of the last three months with medication is 250. Hence, the medicines are working, but I am not getting relief from the burning sensation. I am taking Neftas as suggested by my doctor, and I feel fine while on it, but after 3 to 4 days of stopping Neftas, the burning sensation returns. Please suggest what I am missing and why I am having this issue repeatedly?

High sugar levels (342 to 250 avg) can lead to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bladder irritation. If burning returns after stopping Neftas, infection or inflammation may still be partially untreated. Consider a urine culture to check for resistant or hidden infection. Maintain high hydration and good sugar control to prevent recurrence.

View allI am experiencing a burning sensation while urinating and my urine appears yellow, two to three times a day. I have done this urine test three times, and the culture test is normal. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I had a urine test done at the doctor which was positive for leukocyte esterase and nitrites. However, the culture came back with no bacteria detected. Does this mean I do not have a UTI? What could be other causes for the pain and positive results in my urine test?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I drink 4.5 to 6 liters of water every day, but my urine is still deep yellow. My liver function tests are all within the normal range. I am not dehydrated, but I am very concerned and confused. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
