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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allHi doctor, I had a urine routine test because I felt a mild burning sensation in the vaginal area. The report was almost normal, showing 4 to 6 pus cells and 2 to 4 epithelial cells. After a week of taking Niftas 100 mg tablet, I was feeling okay. I also had my period when I started taking this UTI medicine. On the 7th day of my menstrual flow, I did masturbation, and the next hour I saw a few blood spots. My flow had already stopped on the 5th day. Why is there spotting? Is it related to a serious health issue? I still feel mild itching and burning in the vaginal area. Is this an infection? I did another urine test today. The report shows pus cells 2 to 4, epithelial cells 6 to 8, and a few traces of protein (albumin). Please suggest if this is normal or if I need other medicine. I have attached both reports the first week and todays urine report. Please help me?

My urine report shows pus cells 20 to 24. Both kidneys show a few tiny calculi with the largest 3 mm on the right side and 2 mm on the left side. No hydronephrosis is seen on either side.

Before one year I had night fall which caused hurting or burning pain and after that I started getting urine symptoms. For one day I had burning while passing urine and change in urine flow. I drank a lot of water as advised, and urine burning stopped. But after a month, again, urine burning started, which stayed for some days and then went away. I get these symptoms for days, and then they come back again after a month. I have been facing this for one year. Four months ago, I had constipation, and at that time, I felt pain above the anus and hardness. Now I am getting burning while starting urine, but no burning after urine. While passing stool, urine burns, and it feels warm for around 10 to 15 minutes after pooping. Stool passes easily with no pain or burning, but some stool stays in. Is prostatitis causing this. Do I have prostatitis? I am very scared and stressed. My age is 21. I do not get any discharge from penis. My urine report shows acidic urine.
