Hi Doctor,
Thanks for the reply. She didnt have any fever or flue at that tym. We have done urine culture and urine routine many times at that time. In beginning, the results used to be bacteria present. After the medicines taken, it came to no bacteria in urine culture and insignificant bacteria in Urine routine. She used to experience mild pain for few days like2/10. Doctor told that is bowl moments. So, after medication it reduced.
After October 2016 she doesn' have any pains in the pelvic region. But after she took ipill, she started to have brown colour spotting at the start of periods.
Can we know what is this brown spotting. Is it due to old blood or any infection.
Can she still have any problem. Should i also go through health check.
Will she have any problem in future like infertility. Please help.

Hello and welcome back.
I can understand your concern. As she does not have a fever or any other symptoms and other investigations are also normal, so I think infection might get resolved.
Brown colored spotting at the start of periods is normal. It may be due to old blood. Color may change during the menstrual cycle. I think For that no need of any further health check-up. It will not cause any problem in future including infertility. Kindly follow measures as explained earlier. Kindly follow up if you have any query. Take care.
