Brief Answer:
Has urine culture and sensitivity be done ?
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for writing in .
From the symptoms, initially the first diagnosis that came to my mind was urinary tract infection. However, you said urinanalysis has come out to be clear.
I would advise you to get the following tests done :
Urine culture and Sensitivity.
Ultrasound Abdomen and Pelvis to rule out kidney stones/ gynaecological problems etc.
If nothing abnormal detected on the above 2 tests, please consult a urogynecologist.
In the meantime I would advise you to drink plenty of fluids.
Ensure regular periodic emptying of bladder.
Hope this advise was helpful to you.
Warm Regards,
Divya
