I am experiencing burning sensation and pain in my abdomen along with white discharge. The lab report mentions blood present written in pen, but I am not sure what that means. I have attached my report, could you please help me understand the results and advise on what this might indicate?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

A few days after having unprotected sex, I started experiencing a burning sensation while urinating. My partner is also having similar issues, including kidney pain and some abnormal values in her blood report, such as a high pH level. Based on these symptoms, I suspect it might be a urinary tract infection for both of us.
