A member asked:

I discovered about 6 months ago that i have symptomless uti's so i got some uti test trips recently. i took the test and have tested 2 days in a row positive (500+) for leukocytes, but negative thus far for nitrites. should i go to a dr now or wait?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some basics: A typical squat & pee will create a sample that includes a vaginal wash out. This may include vaginal leukocytes that do not mean a UTI. Nitrites are the chemicals created by the more common causes of UTI's & more predictive of a true infection. Testing a fresh mid stream sample after cleaning the site is better.I would clarify when to call with the doc who treats you based on their case knowledge
