Urine Culture Test (Urine C/S) in Saharanpur - Price & Details

The Urine Culture Test checks for the presence of bacteria in urine, crucial for diagnosing UTIs. Common bacteria causing UTIs include Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Enterobacter, and Proteus. Women are more prone to UTIs due to the shorter female urethra's proximity to the anus. Symptoms like a burning sensation during urination, pain, or difficulty urinating may indicate the need for this test.

The test is prescribed for individuals experiencing symptoms like:

• Pain or burning during urination
• Smelly urine
• Abdominal discomfort
• Limited urine secretion
• Fever
• Constant chills

UTIs often start in the urethra or bladder but can affect any part of the urinary tract system. Metabolites, products created by metabolic processes, are present in the blood and can get utilised or filtered out, eventually becoming part of the urine.  The test results, interpreted through colony counts, help determine if there's a UTI and guide the selection of appropriate antibiotics based on sensitivity testing.
