Posted on Sat, 6 Sep 2014
Question: Hi Doctor, I had an RIRS procedure last month. I just got my urine culture report back which says - Grams Stain - 'Few Pus Cells and Plenty of gram negative bacilli seen.". I do not have any other symptoms such as frequency of urination or burning or pain. What does this mean?

Mostly Asymptomatic bacteriuria

Detailed Answer:
Hello Robnav,
Thanks for writing to us.

According you history and urine test mostly it suggest Asymtopmatic bacteriuria.
Any kidney related surgery or kidney stones can cause this condition.
Since you underwent RIRS procedure it could be the reason of Asymptomatic bacteriuria which does not cause any symptoms.
At this moment you does not require any treatment unless you develop symptoms like burning,painful urination and increase frequency of urination.
Drink Plenty of water which flush out all of your organisms from urinary tract.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
