symptoms for 5 days ago
No fever
the test was a strip of multi colored sections dipped into my urine. All sections were negative for infection
no vaginal discharge
I was diagnosed with fibroids 12 years ago - menses stopped several years ago
left ovary removed due to large cyst about 35 years ago

See the answer below in deatil.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,thanks for the details.
With these symptoms for 5 days,UTI is still the first possibility.
In such a situation,with a negative card test,after starting empirical antibiotic therapy with antibiotics like norfolxacin / cefixime,I will go for a urine microscopy and culture and sensitivity test.
Depending on the test result,we may need a change in antibiotic or futher investigations like USG abdomen.
Ureteric calculus with or without secondary infection also is a possibility.Not all calculi may not be visible on x-ray.Some need USG to be detected.
Your doctor will guide you further.
Meanwhile,take you can take paracetamol(if not allergic) for temporary relief,and take plenty of oral fluids.
Hope,now I have cleared your doubt.If you have no further questions,you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wishing for a faster and complete cure,Thank you.
