My urine routine report shows bacteria 84.7/HPF, cocci 78.1/HPF, and mucus 182.8/HPF. WBC is normal at 0.8/HPF, and the urine is slightly turbid. I do not have any urinary symptoms such as burning, pain, urgency, or frequent urination. Could these findings be due to sample contamination rather than a UTI? Should I do a urine culture or need any treatment?
I was sitting down when suddenly my sister sprayed cockroach-killing spray. It came close to my nose and I sniffed it for 2-3 seconds. I didn't have any symptoms, but I am worried anything might happen.What should I do doctor? I have gargled and washed my face. Is this something serious or should I not worry?
I am a 30-year-old male with persistent fatigue and low energy. My recent blood tests show Vitamin B12 <148 pg/mL and Vitamin D 11.8 ng/mL. Hb is 15.1 g/dL and CBC is otherwise normal. Thyroid, HbA1c, kidney function and most liver parameters are normal. I am vegetarian. Please advise on the appropriate treatment for these deficiencies, including whether oral B12 or injections are preferable, dosage and duration. Also, should I get any further tests to identify the cause of the severe B12 deficiency or investigate my fatigue? I can share the complete blood report.
Hi Doctor, I’m a 20-year-old male and would like some guidance regarding a few symptoms. For the past 7 days, I’ve been urinating quite frequently, around 8–9 times within 12 hours. Sometimes, even after urinating, I feel the urge to urinate again shortly afterward. I’ve also noticed that I’m more thirsty than usual and have been drinking water more frequently. For the past 2 months, I’ve also been experiencing persistent fatigue/tiredness. My sleep doesn’t feel completely refreshing, even when I get what seems like enough sleep, and I often feel the need to take a ~1-hour nap during the day. I initially thought this was due to sleeping late,but the tiredness has continued even after I started going to bed earlier. I’m also currently being treated for acne.My dermatologist prescribed Doxt-SL, which I’m taking as directed:Twice daily after food for 2 weeks Then once daily 4 weeks.
