Kidney Problems
Is PCR helpful for me
I need your opinion regarding my long-term urine problem.
- Around 3 years back, I started having burning sensation while passing urine.
- Initially, urine culture was positive, but bacteria kept changing after every antibiotic course.
- Later, urine culture showed no bacteria, but symptoms continued (burning sensation).
Then my doctor did prostate massage, and after that:
- Post-massage urine culture came positive for bacteria.
- I completed the full antibiotic course, but burning sensation did not fully go away.
Recently:
- Doctor again did prostate massage, but this time culture is negative.
- Uroflowmetry - normal
- USG before & after urine - normal
- Doctor tried some medicines, but burning sensation still persists.
Now I am thinking to ask my doctor for PCR urine test to detect bacteria.
My questions to doctors:
- Is PCR urine test useful in such cases?
- I go to Government Hospital, will urologists prescribe urine PCR ,if I ask

Need clarifications for urine color
My mother has been experiencing frequent changes in urine color for some time.
The urine is often dark yellow or whitish, and sometimes light yellow.
She has been on diabetes (sugar) tablets for the past 6 years. Her sugar levels are generally under control.
There are no other noticeable symptoms such as:
Burning sensation while urinating
Pain
Fever
Swelling
Weakness
Weight loss
An important observation is that after drinking sufficient water, the urine color becomes white/clear, which suggests a relation to hydration.
She is otherwise doing well and does not have any major complaints apart from this urine color variation.
We would like to understand:
Whether this could be related to dehydration, diabetes, or kidney/urinary function
If any tests or medication review are required

Urine flow sharp pain and bleed
Hello Doctor,
Suddenly on morning at first urine it holds few seconds and when flow came out there was sharp pain and blood few seconds there after urine came out. The blood was not too much and dark but were in droplets around 20-30.
Then after whole day urine was normal but some itching. Next day it was all fine. The flow of urine was also normal and color was not dark.
In my daily routine from last months due to some work pressure i didn't take much of water. Had liquor around 300 ml in last 20 days.
Attach with routine urine test and culture. Found protein 42mg%.
Please suggest, do need any medication or will go away by itself.

Urine related problems
When my penis is not fully erect, it looks curved, and I am confused about whether I have penile curvature or not. Sometimes I feel a lump-like area, and it seems to bend toward the left side. I need help identifying what my problem is.
I also experience urine dripping. Even after completing urination, it feels like the urine is not fully finished. I have to wait for about 10–15 seconds after urinating so that I don’t feel the urge to pass urine again.
I also have a problem with nightfall.

UTI/Bladder Infection Not Going Away
My symptoms are:
> Lower Abdomen (Just below belly button) Pain/irritation/swelling/pressure
> Frequent urge to urinate. Passing frequently but only small amount of urine.
> Mild burning sensation/itching
> Urine apperance is Cloudy/Dark urine
My urine culture test reports shows Klebsiella species (MDR) ESBL and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AmpC beta-lactamase positive) Colony count 1,00,000 for both.
Tried some of the sensitivity medicines for 5-7 days including Meropenem (1mg for 7 days twice daily), But unfortunately those didn't worked.
The next culture report also shows the same.
USG revealed "Multple free floating echoes in the bladder lumen".
All other test reports appear to be normal Suffering this for a very long time persistently.
Haven't tried any antibiotic combination or supplements.
Previously had to undergo catheterization for 3-4 days in connection with hiatus hernia surgery.
This is the first time having an UTI.
Kindly advice me a correct treatment plan.
