Question 5

I've just got my urine test results back and it mentions something about PUS cells being 56 hpf. My doctor said it's a UTI. What should I be doing to treat it, and is there anything I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

For a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) diagnosis with 5-6 pus cellshpf, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics, such as Nitrofurantoin, Ciprofloxacin, or Amoxicillin, for 3-7 days to clear the infection; also, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene; potential risk factors if left untreated include kidney damage, recurrent infections, and sepsis, so complete the full antibiotic course and follow up

Question 6

I'm experiencing a sharp pain at the tip of my penis and some irritation on the foreskin. Can you recommend any general painkillers I can use until I see the doctor on Monday?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing inflammation or irritation in the foreskin, which can cause discomfort. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, but make sure to follow the recommended dosage. Its best to keep the area clean and avoid any irritants until you can see the doctor on Monday.
