Hi,
I am a 24 year old male that is having bladder spasms.  I went to the doctor today and had a Urinalysis/W micro and the doctor said, I see nothing wrong. I am concerned that I do have something wrong otherwise why would I feel these spasms.  The results are as following:
Urine color/ Pale Straw
Urine appear/ clear slightly hazy
Urine Glucose/ trace100mg/dl
Urine Spec Gravity/ >1.030
Urine PH/ 5.5
Urine Protein 1+/30 mg/dl
Urobilinogen 1.0EU/dl
Nitrate/ Positive
Urine WBC/ 2-5/hpf
Urine Bacteria/ Slight/hpf

Hello,
The urine report is positive for bacteria and protein which is due to urinary tract infection and proteinuria. Urinary tract (which consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra) infections are very common in young. Symptoms of UTI are frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, passing of blood in urine and even fever. The most common causes of repeated UTIs are kidney stones and diabetes mellitus.

Get a urine culture, serum creatinine and an ultrasound kidneys to confirm the diagnosis.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

If you are like me, you can feel the infection before much shows up on the specimen.  But the next day I have it checked again, and then the numbers have climbed where they can detect an infection.  You can take Azo-Standard or Pyridium for the discomfort.  I take cranberry pills also, and it lowers my pH enough to overcome the infection lots of times.
