It is possible that you did not collect the urine specimen correctly and it was contaminated with vaginal fluid. Visit this site for instruction on proper urine collection and talk to your doctor if urine culture needs to be repeated. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/007487.htm#:~:text=To%20collect%20the%20urine%20sample,urinating%20into%20the%20toilet%20bowl.
