A member asked:
I have had mid stream catch and cath specimens ordered. what does the cath specimen provide that the mid stream does not? cath less comfortable.....
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More accurate : Some women have a difficult time giving a clean catch. Sometime the urethra is too far back and no matter what they do it's contaminated with vaginal cells. The cath urine is the most accurate.
