When Should You Get a Urine Culture Test? 💦 If you're experiencing burning pee, constantly feeling like you need to go, back pain, fever, or foul smells down there, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). 😖 One of the best ways to diagnose a UTI is with a urine culture and sensitivity test. A urine culture looks for bacteria in your pee and identifies which bug is causing the infection. The sensitivity part tells your doctor which antibiotics will knock out the bacteria for good. 👊🏻 This helps customize treatment just for your UTI bacteria. Here's a step-by-step guide to this important test: First, use the midstream clean catch method to collect your pee in a sterile cup. This means peeing a bit first, then catching the middle of the stream, and finishing up after.😅 This gets the purest sample. Next, the lab cultures your sample to see if bacteria grow. If so, they'll ID the bacteria and see which antibiotics stop its growth.🌡️ Within 24-48 hours, the results are back! If bacteria were found, your doctor will prescribe you the antibiotic that testing shows works.👩‍⚕️ A urine culture is so valuable because it pinpoints the cause and best treatment for your UTI. 🎯 No more trial and error with antibiotics.
