Is urine culture and sensitivity test report helpful for future to use antibiotics? There is an antibiotics list given in the report. Should we use only these antibiotics for UTI in future?

Urine culture with sensitivity helps choose the right antibiotic for a current UTI. However, bacteria and resistance patterns may change, so do not reuse the same antibiotics without a new test if symptoms return. Use antibiotics only when prescribed.

Sir, I drink 2 to 3 liters of water daily, but I pass only about 700 to 800 ml of urine per day. A few days ago, I had a kidney infection, but now my reports are normal. Both urine routine and culture tests are normal. What could be the reason?

I am suffering from urinating problems for the past 4 to 5 months. I need to pass urine 8 to 10 times at night. I pass more urine while sitting than standing. I went to the hospital and my lab reports and USG are normal. The doctor advised me to take Tab. Cystone but it has not cured my problem. Please advise me as I am suffering from a big problem?

Two days back I had frequent urination every half an hour. After taking metronidazole for 2 days it is improving but earlier I had some bladder pain with inflammation. My urine test report is normal but I did not do a urine culture test. Inside my penis there is a burning sensation. Is any problem occurring?
