Patient's question:
Hello, what could be the reason for experiencing lower abdominal bloating, a constant urge to urinate but unable to urinate or only urinating a little, and a slight pain in the urethra? Could it be a case of ureteral stones? After undergoing a routine urine test, it showed leukocytes +2 and protein +2. What does this mean? Besides inflammation, what other issues could there be? The doctor who examined me today said to first receive a few days of anti-inflammatory injections before addressing the issue of protein +2. What does protein +2 signify?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is not necessarily caused by stones; it could be due to underlying inflammation or a manifestation of prostatitis.Recommendations:
You should drink more water and follow a light diet. Continue taking anti-inflammatory medication and then follow up with a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system and a urinalysis. The presence of 2+ protein in the urine may indicate inflammation, and it is also necessary to rule out the possibility of nephritis or kidney damage.
