Proper testing: Any time that your having your urine tested for possible UTI, it is importantant to get a clean catch, midstream specimen. The nurse/lab tech should give you a toweltte to wipe off your urethral opening. Then you should urinate into the toilet before you urinate into the specimen cup.
