<s>[INST] How do you diagnose a UTI? [/INST] For women with typical symptoms, testing a clean sample of urine with a test strip usually gives us all the information we need. Physical examination and sonography may be useful to exclude other causes. If additional confirmation is required, a specimen of urine can be sent to the laboratory for culture, with results available within a few days. Source: THE WOMAN HEALTH PAVILION.
