Elevated WBC and epithelial cells suggest a possible UTI. Since delivery is near, consult doctor promptly, antibiotics may be needed to prevent complications.

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?

Hello, for the past 10 days my urethra and vagina have been itchy, and my urine has a strange smell, kind of sweet or aromatic. I have not done any urine or blood tests yet. I need help?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Doctor. This is my urine test report. Is it normal? Please reply. I took the test because of mild burning sensation after urination for the past three months, lasting about one hour. What is abnormal in this? I am diabetic for six years and have high blood pressure.
