What is the best test for urinary tract infection in women?

Women's reproductive health is a factor that has a great impact. Damage to reproductive health can cause women to suffer from various gynecological diseases. For example, urinary tract infection is also a type of gynecological disease, which brings great instability to women's health. Therefore, urinary tract infection must be treated technically. First of all, various routine examinations should be carried out. Let’s take a look at what examinations are better for female urinary tract infection?

1. Urinalysis:

Urinalysis is one of the “three major routine” items in medical examinations. Proteinuria or formed elements in urine sediment can be seen in the early stages of many kidney diseases. It also has important reference value for the diagnosis of certain systemic diseases and diseases of other organs in the body that affect urine changes, such as diabetes, blood diseases, liver and gallbladder diseases, hemorrhagic fever, etc. At the same time, urine tests can also reflect the treatment effect and prognosis of some diseases. This examination can be used to determine the corresponding symptoms.

The doctor collects the patient's urine and conducts a urine separation test through the laboratory to determine whether the amount of various components in the urine exceeds the standard. The doctor must be careful during the test to avoid mistakes. This inspection requires complete equipment and experienced and highly qualified experts to ensure that the inspection results are scientific and accurate.

2. Urine bacterial culture plus drug sensitivity test:

Urine bacterial culture is mainly used to check for bacterial infections of the urethra, bladder, prostate, ureters and renal pelvis. In order to ensure the accuracy of culture identification, the collection of urine specimens is very important. The most commonly used methods are midstream urine collection, sterile catheterization, and 24-hour urine collection. The culture method is conventional culture method or quantitative urine bacterial culture method.

Examination process: As with routine urine tests, use clean and dry containers, preferably disposable urine cups and urine test tubes provided by the hospital. Take about 10 ml of urine and send it to the designated testing window of the hospital. The test involves examining the urine under a microscope to identify the types and quantities of bacteria in the urine.

The above is an introduction to the examination items needed for female urinary tract infection. It is recommended that patients go to a local regular hospital, seek professional doctors for examination, receive timely treatment, and recover as soon as possible.
