Urine dip test - infection?

5 replies

My 17 year old daughter has been having issues with going to the toilet a lot over the weekend, to the point of not being able to sleep. I did a urine dip test and have attached the photo below.

Do any medical professionals on here know whether these results indicate a UTI? Or could it be something more serious? The blood one concerns me.

I am getting her booked into the GP tomorrow but just wanted some advice in the meantime.

I’m not medical but I’ve had a lot of utis and use these tests all the time. She definitely has an infection, and blood is very common with infection so I wouldn’t worry on that score. Don’t let the Drs give her 3 days antibiotics, she needs 7.

Thank you, i will contact the doctors first thing. She keeps getting them quite regularly, do you think the GP will need to do further tests?

Probably another dip test that’s all

how did she get on?

Hi, she got given a 3 day course of antibiotics and the GP said that if that doesn't clear it up, to get back in touch with them. Hopefully it will do the trick, she seems to get them quite often.
