Hi! I went to the ER a few days ago and was diagnosed with a UTI turned kidney infection. I haven t picked up my prescription yet, but will after Labor Day. There is diluted blood when I wipe, and small bits of what I can only assume is bloody bits of skin tissue. I have frequency issues, pain, and occasionally pain during or after intercourse. It all sounds like a textbook UTI, but they didn t swab me or do a pelvic exam went I saw the doctor, so my question is: can they determine the presence of common STDs in urine samples? Is it possible that I have something else that they missed?
Hi thanks for asking question. Urine examination can reveal pus cell that is favoring of urinary tract infection. But it is not for detecting STD.for sexually transmitted disease test from serum mostly done. Here you have 3 possibilities. First rule out chronic urinary tract infection with pyelonephritis. Second one here it is necessary to rule out pelvic inflammatory disease with pelvic examination.perspicuous examination also have to do. Third possibility is to rule out sexually transmitted disease like chlamydia, gonorrhea etc. Ultrasound examination has to be done in your case. I hope my suggestion will guide you toward proper diagnosis of your case. Wish you good health
