If your urethra is swollen, how can my doctor test for whatever i have?

Urine test & culture: You must be able to urinate otherwise it would be urinary retention which is an emergency. Testing the urine will demonstrate a UTI if present, urine culture would identify the organism responsible. Dr. Can confirm swelling by examination.
