Yes! If you have the Combur-Test Urinary Test Strips!
We often see patients who get recurrent bladder symptoms which may feel like an infection, but it is not. It is often a vaginal infection or just a nerve irritation that feels like a bladder infection.These patients end up spending unnecessary money and even worse, taking antibiotics way too often.
How do Urinary Tests Strips work?
You urinate into a cup. If you really suspect that it is a bladder infection, make sure you catch a midstream sample. You then insert the test strip into the cup and wait one minute to read the result.
How to collect a midstream urine sample?
You have to wipe the genital area before urinating. You pull the lips apart and let the first bit of urine fall into the toilet. You then catch the "middle bit" of urine in a clean cup and perform the dipstick test on the specimen.
How do you interpret a Urinary Test strip?
You check for LEUCOCYTES and NITRITES. If any of those are present, you can let us know to send a prescription (if you are known patients to one of the MSH doctors) or come in for a consultation or go and see your own doctor for a prescription.
Patients have to make sure that they take a MID-STREAM sample.
If you find leucocytes on a normal sample and not on a mid-stream sample, it can be an indication that you have a VAGINAL infection. In that case you should also contact your doctor or get some products for infection from our website (Monogin and Vagiforte Plus), or from your local pharmacy (Canestan, Canalba, etc). If it happens recurrently, we strongly recommend that you see one of our doctors for a thorough work-up.
We often tell patients to submit a sample to the lab if they find leucocytes on any test.
