However, it may not detect some less common pathogens or viral infections of the urinary tract. If a UTI is strongly suspected but the urine culture is negative, further testing may be necessary to identify the cause.
What should I do if my Urine Culture test results are positive?
If your Urine Culture test results are positive, indicating an infection, your healthcare provider will prescribe appropriate antibiotics or antifungal medications based on the type of microorganism identified. It's important to complete the entire course of medication, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished, to fully clear the infection and prevent recurrence.
How can I prevent urinary tract infections?
To reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, it's recommended to stay well hydrated, urinate regularly, and practice good hygiene. For women, wiping from front to back after using the toilet can help prevent bacteria from entering the urinary tract. Additionally, urinating soon after sexual intercourse and avoiding irritating feminine products can also help prevent UTIs. It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider for personalised advice on UTI prevention.
