Yes, they can detect UTI in urine.

I am suffering from urinating problems for the past 4 to 5 months. I need to pass urine 8 to 10 times at night. I pass more urine while sitting than standing. I went to the hospital and my lab reports and USG are normal. The doctor advised me to take Tab. Cystone but it has not cured my problem. Please advise me as I am suffering from a big problem?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have 30 to 40 pus cells and 20 to 25 epithelial cells per hpf in my urine report. I am also experiencing nausea, occasional burning sensation during urination, and mild pain in the lower abdomen and sometimes on both sides of the flank. I am currently taking Nitrobact 100. I have attached my report for your reference.

I have been experiencing severe itching while urinating and need to go to the bathroom very frequently, about every 30 minutes. My urine test report came back normal. Could you please advise why this problem might be occurring?
