Question 1

will stds be detected in urinalysis, syphilis serology tests?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: In an normal urinalysis they do not test for stds.  But you can use the same urine sample to test for chlamydia or gonorrhea.  When they take blood for the syphilis test, the can also test for HIV and hep c, but not for chlamydia or gonorrhea.  In summary, to have a "full std panel", you need to give both blood and urine.

Question 2

what stds do doctors test for through urinalysis??

Accepted Answer

None: A urinalysis on its own does not test for STDs.  Special cultures need to be ordered.  In the case of urine assays, gonorrhea and chlamydia screening and T mycoplasma/ureaplasma testing can be done.  Other STDs require blood tests.  If you are concerned about possible exposure, take to your doctor right away about appropriate testing.

Question 3

if there's no bacteria present in urinalysis, does that rule out a bacterial std?

Accepted Answer

No: Gonococci and chlamydia adhere to the epithelium that lines your urinary tract. You'll never catch them in the urinary sediment.

Question 4

how can urinalysis and culture help in diagnosing uti vs std? thanks...

Accepted Answer

Different cultures: Urinalysis and urine culture diagnose a urinary tract infection. In order to diagnose STD a different exam and culture should be done on the cervical discharge specimen in females or the urethral discharge in male

Question 5

does a urinalysis, auto, w/o scope test for stds? urologist said my urine was normal.

Accepted Answer

No: STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are tested with a cervical swab.
HIV, hepatitis and syphilis are tested with a blood draw

Question 6

had bloodwork, std, psa, dre, ultrasound, and urinalysis, all clear, and was told i likely have cpps. are there other tests i also should have ? 42man

Accepted Answer

Prostatitis: I think you have had all the tests required. I would proceed with whatever your doctor has suggested

Question 7

i have white blood discharge and i had urinalysis the doctor said i'm ok no std. but i'm not convinced. i have the urinalysis results?

Accepted Answer

Urine : A urine test lake can't rule out a STD. A special test with local swab is needed to rule out STD.  You should get another opinion and tested if you have had unprotected sex. Suggest practice safe sex.

Question 8

does a urinalysis, auto, w/o scope test for stds? i went to a urologist for possible epididymitis after on doxy. doc said it tested normal

Accepted Answer

Sort of: A urinalysis is a good screening tool for detecting certain infections by being positive for markers of inflammation (blood cells), but cannot specify without a culture or a specific additional test called a PCR for Chlaymdia and gonorrhea.  Most other STD's are screen for by blood test or swabs with cultures (HIV, HSV for example).

Question 9

burning in perineum not feeling like bladder all way empty. all test stds stis are negative urinalysis negative.blood work good creatine was 1.44 on 10-12-2022.appointment months out. what could be the possible issue? cancers maybe?im worried?

Accepted Answer

: The sx you described likely has nothing to do with a possibly abnormal kidney function. If I know your BSA by weight and height +/- your race, I can tell if renal function is impaired or not. The fact that urinalysis was negative is a good news. You will likely need a CT of the abdomen and pelvis to see any relationship between kidneys &amp; pelvic symptoms and your PMD can order that during waiting.

Question 10

left testicular pain and sensitiveness despite negative ultrasound, urine culture, urinalysis, std check and prostate check? any suggestions

Accepted Answer

pain: There is a small appendage that hangs from the testes called the testes appendix.  This small segment of tissue can twist and become ischemic.  This is very painful.  Have first hand experience and will not forget it. In time, usually a few days this will resolve.  Other things that can cause testicular pain include orchitis (inflammation of the testes) and kidney stones (referred pain).
