Recurrent UTI
I've had 6-7 episodes of UTI in last 1 year..Culture report always shows Klebsilella Pneumoniae(not any other organism)..
In June 2023,I had 1 bacteria(After treatment I had no bacteria in Dec 2023 in CUE) with normal pus cells and Colony count was 10,000..At that time symptoms were mild chills,nausea..Doc gave 1 week twice daily course of tab zostum o 200..After 2 weeks even though 1 bacteria was present in CUE,culture became sterile and symptoms reduced
After 1 month,I started having severe Chills,lower abdominal discomfort,nausea,loss of apetite,low grade fever(At that time I was taking meds for enteric fever-Taxim O 400 and Azithral 500)
Urine test reports are attached..
Why am I getting bacteria in CUE(it has increased from 1 to 5) and why did colony counts increase despite taking treatment..
Also I'm having right loin pain,swelling in right feet
Are both (Repeated UTI,Back pain)due to hydroureteronephrosis?
If yes,then what needs to be done for the same..Kindly tell

Delayed wound healing - Red patch skin
A month ago, i got knee got an abrasion by bike accident, above patella, there are 2 places where the skin scraped off, & the hypodermic layers were exposed. I got Tetanus toxoid vaccine, took proper course of antibiotics.
(Antibiotics i took for a month are:
1. "Amoxyclav625-7days BD",
2. "Ceftum-10days BD",
3. "Amoxyclav625-10days TDS" with
Clindamycin300-5days BD
Alongwith, Chymoral forte TDS for 12days
After the wound got covered by bandage on the day of injury, i kept going for work, & no discomfort till week was over. And now the wound started to itch, ache and i left wound open. Got drenched in rain 1-2 times. the skin around the wound started swelling up forming bubbles (containing red fluid), the wound was at 2 sites above patella, but the patch started growing exponentially, with bubbly appearance 5x times the size of actual wound site.
After 1month, after i stopped antibiotics completing courses, & dry patch skin fell off.
Leaving dull red-pink beneath new skin

Anal fissure pain & complications
I had undergone piles surgery about 3 months back. As I was recovering I developed a fissure in the anus. It has been more than 2 months but it's still not cured. I have tried various ointments such as Anovate,Lexopile, Ofess gel,etc and laxatives such as Cremaffin plus, Lactifiber,etc and sitz bath too. My water intake is around 3 liters and I am on a high Fibre diet. I exercise regularly.
Still the problem persists. I have a problem of hard stools even after having 3 tsf of lactifiber with a glass of water in the night. I have bowel movements 2 times in the morning & o
ne in evening. The evening one is in particular hard & painful. I am looking for a good laxative/stool softener. My doctor has advised me 30ml of Cremaffin plus in night and local application of Sucral Ano cream. But when I took cremaffin plus earlier it led to discomfort & nausea. Please suggest me what should I take as laxative/stool softener. Is plain Cremaffin advisable?
