Gram negative bacilli found in urine? does this mean a urinary tract infection? doc didnt even mention it.i am urinating more frequently but no pain

GNB: A urine microscopy showing GNB may not be infection and can be a contaminant. Suggest a clean catch urine be done and a urine culture of needed but done right. Sounds like you have no symptoms and this may not be an issue.
