These symptoms, in combination with a positive urine test are highly suggestive of simple cystitis.

However, if your question is "can a woman give a man a germ that causes burning when he urinates," the answer is yes.
How do you know if it is a kidney infection rather than a urinary tract infection?
Usually with a kidney stone, the person will either experience pain the back that is dull and achy, or sometimes sharp and intense. Sometimes people who have kidney stones don't even have symptoms. Most of the time symptoms only occur when the stone has blocked something else. When you are experiencing this pain, you will know it. It is often compared to the pains of childbirth. You may also experience blood in your urine, feeling nauseated, feeling very tired, and have a fever.
With a urinary tract infection, the pain is a lot less severe, although still painful. The pain experienced with this will also be only when you urinate. You may also feel as if you cannot urinate because with the infection, the sphincters in your bladder will spasm, making it very difficult to pass the urine (as well as making it very painful). You also may experience blood in your urine with this, and if this is occurring it is usually a sign that the infection is quite advanced. This is something that must be treated before it turns into kidney infection. You also may experience nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and fatigue with this. The best way to tell what you have is to see a doctor!! Hope this helps!
What causes blood and protein in urine?
I have passed protein 'stone' in my urine. What might cause protein to pass in the urine?
Dr. says i have protein in my urine does that mean i have a stone or cancer.
Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also perform a number of important functions. They protect you from infection, help your blood clot, and keep the right amount of fluid circulating throughout your body.
As blood passes through healthy kidneys, they filter the waste products out and leave in the things the body needs, like proteins. Most proteins are too big to pass through the kidneys' filters into the urine unless the kidneys are damaged. The main protein that is most likely to appear in urine is albumin. Proteins from the blood can escape into the urine when the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli, are damaged. Sometimes the term albuminuria is used when a urine test detects albumin specifically. Albumin's function in the body includes retention of fluid in the blood. It acts like a sponge, soaking up fluid from body tissues.
Inflammation in the glomeruli is called '''glomerulonephritis, or simply nephritis. Many diseases can cause this inflammation, which leads to proteinuria. Additional processes that can damage the glomeruli and cause proteinuria include diabetes, hypertension, and other forms of kidney diseases.'''
Protein in the urine is also called proteinuria. This is often discovered on a blood test when a patient desires to donate blood or plasma or has lab work done.

Lab results are reviewed seven days a week. In summary, these are usually available within two days of the test taken.

Will bactrim help urinary tract infection?
Yes and no. It depends what the bacteria causing the vaginitis are. Bactrim is a good broad spectrum antibiotic and as such, it very probably will help. Ideally, vaginal swabs should be taken at the first visit, and sent to a lab for analysis. The lab will identify the bacteria under a microscope. They will put the swab in a petrie dish to grow a colony of the bacteria, and then they add various antibiotics to see which one kills them. Obviously, this lab work takes a few days and the doctor won't want to leave the patient untreated until the lab results come back because of the possibility of the infection migrating up the genital tract. So the doctor is likely to prescribe a good broad spectrum antibiotic like Bactrim, and it will probably work. However, if the bacteria isn't susceptible to Bactrim, the woman should return to the same doctor or to one who has her medical notes. By that time, the lab results should be back and they will have written in the report exactly which antibiotics are best for that particular infection.

Why do you cry after you urinate?
Boys and men, or girls and women, can get urinary tract infections (UTIs). Teenage girls and women get more UTIs than boys and men because the urethra tube where urine comes out is very close to the vagina. But little girls can get UTIs too.
The most common cause of UTI in girls is often from wiping back to front after a bowel movement. That brings E Coli from the anal area forward where it begins to grow. Instead, you should always put your hand behind you and wipe from the front to the back. Girls and women can also get UTIs if the body's pH level gets out of whack. Teens and women can also get a UTI from sexual activities.
Whether male or female, no one should cry after urinating. Perhaps you had some burning as you urinated, or bladder spasms. If you have burning, pain, spasms, or see blood in your urine (urine looks pink to red), see a doctor. If you are young, tell your mom so she can take you to the doctor. You will need antibiotics (a pill or capsule) taken several times a day for 10 days. Finish all the antibiotics even if you feel better sooner.
Sinus rhythm with first degree AV block?
Any EKG should be thought of as a picture that directly represents electrical activity in the heart, which is causing physical or mechanical activity that can't be seen on the strip.
Sinus rhythms show up as P-waves, so this strip would have P-waves present. Normal P-waves face upward toward positive polarity. These sinus rhythms originate in the sinoatrial node (SA).
AV block means that the signal is not reaching the Atrioventricular node (AV). This shows up as an increase in the length & time between the P-wave and the R-wave.
The problem here is that due to something interfering with the electrical signal, the herat's ventricles are not pumping at the right time. This can be because of electrolyte imbalance (not enough or too much calcium, potassium and so forth), damaged heart muscle from myocardial infarction (heart attack), or due to medication side effects (especially heart medications like calcium channel blockers.
Could a urinary tract infection cause a tingling sensation at the end of urnination?
