Just had a STD test done. Is the below a sign of a possible UTI & if so, is the usual only cure with oral antibiotics?

Remarks: Found mild inflammation in urinary system

Chlamydia Ag, Syphillis Antibody, HBsAg & Anti-HIV were all negative.

Gram negative rod in single = Rare

Epithelial cells = Rare

**Wbc/Pus = Moderate (5-10/ HPF)

Spermatozoa = Not Found

Budding Yeast (Candida spp.) = Not Found

Gonorrhoea/GC = Not Found

Below is what Google AI has said would be the cure for a UTI:

For uncomplicated (simple) bladder infections, healthcare providers typically rely on these first-line oral antibiotics: [1, 2]

• Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin): Often the preferred first choice. It concentrates directly in the urinary tract, is highly effective against common bacteria like E. coli, and has a low risk of resistance. [1, 2]

• Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra): A highly effective and affordable combination antibiotic, though resistance can vary by geographic region. [1, 2]

• Fosfomycin (Monurol): A convenient option for uncomplicated infections.

Not enough info.

1. Changes in urinary flow strength or hesitancy?

2. An increased frequency of urination, especially at night?

3. Any mild burning, discomfort, or pelvic pressure?

It may be wise to consult a doctor not the internet, preferably an urologist, preferably a urologist.

1. Same, no change

2. I always drink a lot of water all the time, so I usually get up 2-3 times a night to pee.

3. None now. But a couple of months ago there was mild discomfort/burning, but not during peeing, only throughout the day. It lasted a few days on and off.

I am not a doctor, BUT, I am old and have my fair share of doctor visits, and some medical school education 1000 years ago.

If it were me, I would not take antibiotics if it not a serious issue. We humans take way too many for minor issues, and have as a result built immunities to antibiotics.

I would start with Cranberry juice. A few glasses a day. If you are diabetic, keep and eye on your sugar.

Give it 4 or 5 days, and see what happens.

Ask AI. It knows everything. Well maybe not, but more than you'll get here.

You have no sperm

No, not necessarily. A urine culture is needed to confirm whether it is a UTI. See a urologist and before taking antibiotics, because antibiotics can affect the culture results.
