Hello,

According to your urine analysis results, you may be suffering from a urinary tract infection.
You may need to better do an uroculture to check which kind of bacteria is causing it and which antibiotic works best for it.
I would have treated you empirically with ciprofloxacin.
Using lots of fluids and water and especially cranberry juice is advisable.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
