A member asked:
I have a terrible uti, and i found a tiny black bug in the toilet bowl. should i go to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UTI not from the bug: Utis are mostly caused by bacteria, occasionally from viruses, but not from tiny bugs which are large enough to be seen. Bug was either already there or else you might have so called "crabs".. Your family dr. Can get a urine culture from you and start treatment with a broad spectrum antibiotic. Your dr will decide whether further work-up is necessary.
