Question 1

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?

Question 2

Hi Doctor, for the past five days I have been suffering from a urinary infection. The doctor at the nearest hospital advised me to undergo a urine routine and culture test. The routine test came out normal, and the culture report is still awaited. Meanwhile, I had an ultrasound done, which suggested cystitis and an ovarian cyst on the right side. I am yet to consult the doctor with these reports tomorrow. I am experiencing nocturia and feel my bladder is full even after urinating. Frequent urination is very annoying. I am currently taking Zenflox 200. Please suggest what should be done?

Question 3

My 15 month old baby girl was treated for a UTI 15 days ago, but now she has another infection. After 2 days of medication, her urine report shows the following
Colour is Straw
Appearance is Hazy
Reactionis Acidic
Protein is Nil
Sugar is Nil
Pus cells is 3 to 4 per HPF
Red cells is Nil
Epithelial cells is 1 to 2 per HPF
Crystals is Nil
Casts is Nil
What should I do to stop this recurring infection?

Is a urine culture required despite a normal urine report with no excess pus cells? Please guide. Thanks.

If urine routine is normal and there are no symptoms burning, fever, frequency, urine culture is usually not needed. However, if symptoms persist, a culture can help identify hidden infection.
