What Do My Urine Test Results Indicate?
Question: Recently I had a urine cluture ordered by a OBGYN. I was sent to her because I suddenly started peeing on myself, it's been 18 nights of this now. Anyway, the culture came back stating: Rare indigous skin/genital flora. What does this mean?
Brief Answer:
Normal report.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.
There are some microorganisms which are normally present in the vaginal area.
Rare indigenous skin/genital flora refers to those microorganisms.
In simple terms, culture report is normal and does not suggest any infection.
Hope this answers your query.
Regards.

Thank you very much! My follow up appointment is not for 2 more weeks. The results of this test worded with rare startled me a bit.
The OBGYN is going to run two test on me at my next visit. I don't remember what they are called, but one is where they will fill my bladder with water, and the other involves some type of vaginal sonograhm.
My symptoms are peeing the bed for 18 nights now and a pretty good flow during the day when I cough or sneeze. Also upon standing. It's like I have no control and have to ware pads all the time. This is extremely embarasing! It started hapening with no warning at night. My urin is cleare as can be. I wonder if it could be something involving cancer???

Brief Answer:
Not a sign of cancer.

Hi again.
Sorry for late response.
In my opinion, this could be stress or overflow incontinence. This is due to weak bladder muscles.
I think they would be doing urodynamic studies to assess the bladder functioning.
This not a symptom of a cancer or any infection. Do not worry about that.
If not responding to drugs, a surgical repair would help.
Hope this helps.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Thanks.
