My brother had complaints of frequent urination and mild scrotal pain. The doctor advised a flexible cystoscopy and the report showed Urethra: No stricture Prostate: Normal size with inflammation + Bladder: Normal BUO: Normal Impression: Prostatitis Three days later, a bladder urine report showed: Urine RE: Normal Urine culture & sensitivity: Colony count nil, culture sterile after 48 hours The doctor advised: Normal diet Plenty of fluids Tab Niftas 100 mg for 1 month Urispas for 2 days Tab Pause for 2 days Syrup Alkasol for 1 month After one month, on review, he was symptom free, so no further medicines were prescribed. Now, he has mild, ignorable scrotal pain for some days. What could be the cause? Could prostatitis recur? Can prostatitis cause prostate cancer? Please help

Yes, prostatitis can recur but does not directly cause prostate cancer. Avoid sitting long, hydrate well. Repeat urine test if symptoms persist.

I am G6PD deficient. Today, my urine test report shows pus cells (118) and signs of infection. Can I safely take Ofloxacin 200 mg for this urinary infection, or should I consider an alternative? Please advise.

Hello Doctor, My daughter is 19 months old. She had a viral fever for 3 to 4 days. Since then, she has puffiness around her eyes for the past 5 to 6 days and is passing less urine. The doctor advised a urine routine microscopy (RM) test, and I am attaching the report. Could you please review it and guide me on the next steps? Is everything okay?

Hi, my wife has been having a urine infection for the last 2 to 3 days, and the burning sensation is not subsiding. We started her on Alkasol, and she took 2 to 3 doses, but the burning sometimes improves and sometimes comes back. A week ago, she had a severe throat infection for which she took antibiotics and cold medicines after consulting a doctor. During that time, we did almost all tests, including urine culture, urine routine, CBC, and dengue profile, but almost everything was negative, except a slight positive result in urine routine, and the culture was normal. Please advise what to do now?
