Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern.

I have gone through your reports, and they are absolutely fine except few changes, which are minor to cause anything (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity).

There is slightly low MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin) and elevated lymphocytes due to infections.

But the only concern is you have protein in the urine, and it is called proteinuria. And treatment depends on the symptoms you have. Kindly answer me the following to help you better;

1) Do you take extra supplements?

2) Do you have frequent urination?

3) Is there any foul odor in urine?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

For proteinuria, the associated reasons are hypertension and dehydration, so stay hydrated. From your reports, there is nothing serious. But if you are experiencing symptoms of dryness or balanitis, then ointment will help you. I would suggest you use lubricants during intercourse. Make sure your partner does not have any symptoms of STD (sexually transmitted diseases) such as discharge from the vagina, itching, or rashes.

I suggest you apply ointment Clotrimazole twice a day for five days, and everything will be fine. Maintain general hygiene such as cleaning with soap and water frequently and specifically after intercourse.

Thank you.
