Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I feel like I have a UTI. I am 64 years old and have only had a handful in my life. I just went to the doctor and gave a urine sample. They said a diagnosis wasn t conclusive and they were sending it away for culture. Is this anything I should be worried about?
I have gone through your question and I will try my best to give you a satisfactory answer.
First of all I would like to reassure you that sending a urine culture after urine diagnostic report is of no serious concern. A urine diagnostic report just confirms urinary tract infection and a urine culture is performed to find out to which drug is the bacteria most sensitive to and then start treatment according to the report.
Meanwhile use citraalka sachet as they reduce the acidity of the urine thus stopping the infection from spreading. Maintain a good hydration level and take good care of your personal hygiene.
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
