Brief Answer:
Urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have had some burning or discomfort while urinating and had labs to see what was causing your problem. The blood work looks all normal but the urine analysis shows you have a bladder infection. Your doctor should have taken the urine and sent it off for culture. Once the culture results get back then you can be started on the proper oral antibiotics. At this point all we can say is that you have an infection in the bladder. What kind it is can only be determined by the additional urine culture. I would recommend you contact your provider and ask for a urine culture

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
