A member asked:
Husband had 23 wbc in urine, rest of urine and blood work all perfect, given cipro but 4th day still getting burning in penis, (not constant) why? what could this be? he is so worried, he did not get urine culture, could this be serious? please help?

Needs a diagnosis: WBC in the urine indicates he has an infection somewhere in the urinary tract - urethra (penis), bladder or kidney. Although fairly common (and usually trivial) in women, in men it can be more serious - sexually transmitted disease, prostatitis, bladder stone. Needs to see a Urologist to get a better diagnosis (and then better therapy).
