What Are The Symptoms Of UTI ?

I believe I have a UTI, and I have had them a few times. I took the OTC test and the nitrites were negative but the leukocytes were positive. My concern is I have light red (pink) blood on the toliet paper but there is none in the urine. I know its not my period because I got off about a week ago.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection involving the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. These are the structures that urine passes through before being eliminated from the body.
Symptoms of urinary tract infection include urgency or increased frequency of urination, pain or burning sensation while urinating and presence of blood/discharge per urethra. It may be accompanied by fever, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
Kindly get the following tests done.
1. Urine microscopy examination.
2. Urine culture and sensitivity.
3. Ultrasound abdomen for visualisation of urinary bladder.
Kindly consult Urologist with the report for appropriate administration of medications and its management.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
