Do I have UTI if my urine analysis shows few bacteria and WBC?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Bacteria in urine analysis means you likely have an infection as urine usually is sterile. Now I suggest you do a urine culture. I suggest you start tablet Augmentin 1 gm (Amoxycillin 500 mg and Clavulanic Acid 125 mg) twice daily, then follow up with culture results so we can assess further if you need to continue same or change to a sensitive antibiotic.

I hope this helps.

I understand your concern.

Does your leak increase if you cough or is there anything that increases your abdominal pressure? Do you have a leak associated with urgency, which means you will feel you need to go toilet immediately? Otherwise, will it leak? The first is stress incontinence, and the second is urge incontinence. These are two types and have entirely different treatments. Please let me know which type do you have. Another thing is if urine culture is negative, it means you do not have an infection. The bacteria might not be from urine but surrounding skin when you collect the sample, and that bacteria will not grow in the culture for urine. So there is no urinary tract infection.

I hope this helps.

No, you do not have UTI at all. Signs of UTI (urinary tract infection) will be urgency and painful urination. Leaking at occasions like this usually is a self-limiting condition and does not need treatment. If you want to know more about it, I suggest you do urodynamic testing to check bladder pressure, sphincter pressure, and leak point pressure. I think that test will make a clear picture and proper diagnosis. Then I can decide whether you need treatment.

I hope this helps.
