Hello doctor,I think I might have UTI, since I suffer from burning sensation while urinating, and then cloudy urine at the beginning. I did urine examination routine, in which leukocyte esterase was positive, nitrites negative, and high pus cells in urine 8 to 10. Also did urine culture after that and nothing such came in it. I had unprotected vaginal sex four months ago. Is there any chance, that this is not UTI but some STD? Please help me.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your query and your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I would like to know a few more details to answer your query better: It is unlikely for an STD to present for four months after sexual contact, also your symptoms are more suggestive of a UTI. It is possible to have a negative urine culture because of sampling errors (the urine specimen given may not have had an adequate bacterial load) or organisms that do not grow in culture or infection of the prostate gland.  You would require a detailed clinical examination by a urologist to ascertain the probable cause of UTI and also rule out STD. I would also advise a repeat urine analysis and urine culture and serological tests if you are concerned about the possibility of STD\s from the unprotected sexual contact. In the meantime, you can  ChatDoctor.  For more information consult an urologist online
