The urine culture test is prescribed by the doctor to identify any urinary tract infections or kidney infections. Some common symptoms that indicate the need for a test are:

• Painful urination
• Frequent urge to urinate
• Smelly urine
• Stomach ache
• Fever
• Abdominal pain
• Cramps in the lower abdomen or groin
• Cloudy urine

Typically, bacteria like Klebsiella, acinetobacter, enterobacter, and proteus cause UTIs.

Once the test confirms the diagnosis, the doctor will start the treatment. Another urine culture is prescribed after 7-14 days from completion of the antibiotic course. The test is also prescribed to women who are three months pregnant as a preventive measure to check for UTIs.

To detect the presence of a urinary tract infection, doctors might recommend that you collect the first urine void in the morning. Some other instructions that you might be asked to follow are:

• Drink plenty of water before the test
• Avoid urinating for one hour before the test
• Inform the doctor about any antibiotic medicines you are taking

During the Urine Culture Test

Once the urine culture test has been booked, the phlebotomist will arrive at the registered location at the specified time and collect the sample. There is no need to visit a diagnostic centre or hospital to drop off the urine sample. The containers are sterilized and new, and complete hygiene is maintained throughout the process.
