Hi doctor, I have a question regarding my urine. I feel I might have urinary tract infection, as I feel slight burning while passing the urine, and once the urine is done for a few seconds. Also, sometimes my urine is cloudy, or milky type at the beginning of the urine. Leukocyte esterase came positive, and pus cells are 8 to 10 WBC or HPF. Please check the report, and inform me same about the disease, and what to do. Is this related to sexually transmitted disease by any chance? I had unprotected sex, five months ago, and recently tested for HIV and came negative. Is this something to do with it?
Hi. I have gone through your query, I would like to know a few more details to answer your query better. Do you have any fever or lower abdominal pain? Have you had any slowing of your urinary stream recently? Is this your first attack of UTI or have you had one before? Your report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) suggests that you have urinary tract infection. The next step would be to give a urine culture and start you on antibiotics based on the culture. In addition, you will have to drink plenty of fluids to flush out the infected urine and bacteria. Once your UTI is treated your urine should become clear. As you mentioned any recent sexual contact can provoke a UTI, but it is not possible if it was five months ago. As you are a young male, it is very unusual to get spontaneous UTI's. This will have to be checked out after treatment with an ultrasound, residual urine estimation, and uroflowmetry.
