Urinary infection test strips

Common Questions and Answers about Urinary infection test strips

infection

Avatar n tn I frequently use urine test strips to test my urine when I feel unwell that may be waterwork problem. Have had kidney stone surgically removed in the past. Nitrite on the stick will mean that it is a bladder problem - usually Cystitis. Positive leucocyte reading on the stick with or without signs of protein, usually means that there is a bacterial infection. If the doctor said you have a uti (urinary tract infection) this is anywhere from the kidneys down.
Avatar n tn This could also be a sign that you have a urinary tract infection. You can be tested for this at your doctors office or you can purchase test strips at your local drug store. They usually have them at the pharmacy and no prescrition is required. If you do have a urinary tract infection, your doctor will prescribe a 3 day course of antibiotics. I would try drinking more water and cranberry juice and see if this helps. If not, see your doctor.
Avatar m tn I'm a month removed from Covid. It started with an emergency room visit, They found blood and protein in my urine as I went in because I couldn't pee.One day later I developed upper respiratory Covid symptoms. Coincidence? Antibiotics cleared up the infection as I retested two weeks later and all was clear. However I'm now having to urinate constantly. I have test strips and no problems are showing up. Also my left flank hurts.
Avatar m tn Anyway my symptom went away after like 3 days but I saw a little bit of the milky discharge when I looked in my penis the other day. I also took a urinary tract infection test and one of the strips came back positive. What is going on? Side note: my bf didn't get a rectal swab (he's the bottom) but he still got treatment.
Avatar m tn Now what is with these test strips showing blood in my urine every time I get checked at the clinic ? Should I be concerned ?
Avatar f tn I looked up my symptoms and a few things came up one in particular Urinary Tract Infection. So I decided to get the Azo test strips and it came back Positive that I had that. Now I'm take Azo pills to help the pain. Is the test effective? And what could this possibly be because now I'm experiencing itching as well. I do plan on seeing a doctor but in the mean time I'd like some suggestions on what to do?
Avatar f tn I have been scared of ngu or some other form of infection. I have used multiply uti test strips which test white blood cell count in urine. None have been positive, one or two showed trace amount of wbc (I've taken about 18 tests). Would these show an infection (ngu) if one existed???
Avatar f tn Had a call from my midwife today to let me know the results of my urine test and they show I have a urinary tract infection (UTI). I've had no symptoms but she said I need some antibiotics. Has this happened to anyone else, should I be worried?
622940 tn?1252515107 I have been monitoring my urine with 10-Parameter test strips. The last few days I have had a lot of blood in my urine (looks like diluted Heinz ketchup). Whereas everything else (except for high specific gravity) was ok previously, the protein has showed from + to ++. If this due to there being more blood? Many thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and/or respond.
Avatar f tn March 12th i passed something very strange during what i thought was my period little did i know till after calling my obgyn that i was 6wks pregnant and miscarring! While this was my 2nd pregnancy i was stunned since i took fertility to jave my son. Since then i have been feeling pregnant again the only thing i have to go off of is the day i started bleeding during my miscarriage which was March 10th which would put me at almost 4 weeks.
Avatar m tn A urine dip stick test will confirm whether you have a urinary infection and/or diabetes if the sugar level is very high. A more accurate Diabetes check is through having a blood test taken. Don't delay making an appointment to get checked out, because Diabetes undetected can cause damage to nerves and cause diabetic retinopathy (damage to the inside of the eye that can lead to blindness). Let us know how you get on. Best wishes.
Avatar n tn here there are three rapid strips determine,stat pak and unigold rapid test strips so the determine test strip for 2 years has been reacting the rest of the strips which are taken to be confirmatory test strips never react. If you read the original post you will get the whole history. So someone told me its highly sensitive to any viral infection but then again I asked whats that infection. No answer was given. My CBC results are all in range showing no presence of a virus.
Avatar f tn This gas has a smell of rotten eggs. You can test its presence by test strips available OTC. If this is positive and you have smell of rotten eggs in urine then you need to cut down food items that contain sulfites. Most of this gas comes from sulfites a person consumes, which is a part of all preservatives. Sulfites are present in all juices, molasses, yellow dye in ready made food stuffs, and red wine.
Avatar f tn Due to the frequency of my symptoms, I have urinalysis test strips at home. 5 days ago, when my symptoms began, I did a test first thing in the morning (with no voiding during the night), it showed positive for both nitrites and leukocytes (>500). Later that day, I went to the urologist and their urinalysis came back clear. They gave me a bladder instillation (of which I have been doing weekly or bi-weekly).
Avatar m tn ( Have you been on any AntiBiotics for another reason lately? If so this could have been the start of your problems. You can get a test for both over the counter at Wal Mart. Yep, even for the UTI. They come in test strips. Here is the key though. When taking any kind of an AntiBiotic it Knocks out the "Natural" Flora in the Vagina as well as the stomach. We have Good Bacteria and Bad Bacteria.....When there is an over growth of the Bad Bacteria this is when problems arise.
Avatar f tn There are OTC test strips for this purpose. As Steph said, Monistat can be used to treat a yeast infection if thats what you have.
Avatar f tn Could the urinary infection or penicillin affect the test and is ten weeks long enough to test accuratly?I know 12 weeks is the usual time but do you think 10 weeks was good enough.
Avatar f tn Where can I get a bunch of test strips for ovulating for cheep. I am trying and trying to conceive but I haven't had any sucess at it. So I have been very down for a long time. I don't know if I will ever conceive at times I give up and at others I just keep pressing in and it gets hard daily.
Avatar n tn You may not be drinking enough water. Then again, it could be the onsight of a urinary, bladder, or kidney infection. Consult your physician on your individual case.
Avatar m tn I decided to buy those urinalysis test strips and monitor any issues. Thanks.
803938 tn?1403748253 I noticed a week or so ago that I sometimes have a little bit of pain in my back, left side. Several years ago I had severe pain in the same area and it ended up being a urinary infection (I had no pain urinating at the time and I don't have any right now). I see my OB-GYN in 2 weeks: can I wait until then to have a urine test or should I go to the urgent care before that? The pain is not too bad, so for me I can wait, but would waiting be bad for the baby? I am 14 weeks pregnant.
7165836 tn?1388803685 t see everything they need to call it an infection. since your back hurt for a while it could be either a urinary tract infection or a type of cast that your kidney is producing. But there are different types of casts. You should get a culture done and if that is negative and you continue to get back pain in the kidney area back I would get an ultrasound done to check the kidneys. In the meantime drink lots of water.
