Question 1

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?

Question 2

Dear respected doctors, I have been facing reduced urine output. When I drink water, it takes 1 or 2 hours to urinate. Earlier, it used to take hardly 15 to 20 minutes, but now it is sometimes normal and sometimes very little. My water intake is approximately 2 liters. Recently, my blood test showed urea 18.9 mg/dl and serum creatinine 0.60. USG KUB shows fatty liver grade 1, mild features of PCOD, and a simple renal cortical cyst measuring 35x40 mm. My question is, are any of these findings causing this trouble or do I have a kidney problem? Please provide appropriate guidance.

Question 3

I am suffering from epididymitis for the past 3 months. I have consulted good urologists, and they prescribed antibiotics and NSAIDs. I never had swelling, only mild pain and discomfort. My urine report and USG were normal every time. But even after medications, the mild discomfort is not going. Can anyone help me?

Respected mam, I have attached my urine report. Can NFT be cured? Is it something critical or just a simple infection?

NFT likely refers to Nitrite if present, it suggests bacterial infection. Most urinary infections are treatable with antibiotics. Not usually critical if treated early. Please consult a doctor with full report.
