What Does The Urine Test With Moderate Mixed Growth Mean?
Hi - I had a urine sample come back as "moderate mixed growth" but my surgery has told me the result was normal and I have not been prescribed antibiotics. However I now have a very upset stomach and I have a low grade fever and my back on the right hand side is incredibly painful whenever I need to pass water. Should I ask them to recheck another sample?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Moderate mixed growth seems like mild infection and it can go without medication but using cranberry juice and tea and lots of fluids. In your case you let it untreated and it may become more severe. You can use Bactrim that is first line treatment for simple UTI.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
