Maybe/not: A report like that suggests a "squat & pee" collection with poor technique. Such studies come up with germs from the vagina/skin & bladder making it of less value for diagnosis. A " clean catch" or midstream "catch it like a guy peeing" would be more easy to know if this was a UTI or not.

If culture negative,: Interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition causing bladder pressure, bladder pain and sometimes pelvic pain. The pain ranges from mild discomfort to severe pain. The condition is a part of a spectrum of diseases known as painful bladder syndrome.
