Dr. Katherine Sutherland answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Urinalysis & culture: A urinalysis and a culture are a good start. Talk to your doctor about your specific symptoms. You will need an exam, including a pelvic exam. Based on your history and exam, other tests like blood tests, an ultrasound, or a ct scan may be ordered.
