Accepted Answer

: Almost by rule, doctor should discuss with patient about the condition and work-up result(s), how to treat and how to prevent the recurrence in the future if applicable. Because chlamydia is a STD so your doctor definitely has to inform and treat you and your sex partner should be treated as well.

Question 2

Question 4

small blood and small bacteria in urine seen, would this indicate a cancer? no symptoms. post menstrual - does not have period anymore

Accepted Answer

Question 5

what can cause white blood cells and bacteria in urine..and having diarrhea with the pain in lower right absomen?

Accepted Answer

The most common: ..cause of white blood cells in urine is a urinary tract infection (UTI).  Bacteria in urine may also, but not always, be from infection.  UTI's need to be treated promptly to prevent complications.  The diarrhea and abdominal pain concern me.  Appendicitis and pelvic infections come to mind.  Please get prompt medical care.  Dr. Anne

Question 6

would having no visible blood and bacteria present in urine without other infection symptoms indicate bladder cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not clear what you w: It is unclear as to what you want to know. Do you want to know symptoms of bladder cancer?  This cancer typically presents with painless hematuria (blood in the urine). But some patients may have pain or sudden stoppage of urine flow if their tumor is polypoid but the blockage is intermittent. Urinary infections can also be a presenting feature in some cases.
