The UA and uric culture results are not specific enough to raise concern, basically, urine sample was contaminated with flora of bacteria from vagina or skin. If you are experiencing urinary symptoms such as uncomfortable voiding, frequency, etc., you should have a culture of clean catch or catheterized urine specimen.

It appears that the specimen was contaminated and the results are not interpretable. For information on clean catch: https://patienteducation.osumc.edu/Documents/cl-ca-fe.pdf Wish you good health!

If you are asymptomatic then it is probably contaminated. If symptomatic get treated. Drink plenty of water. Dont hold urine when you get the urge and keep the area clean.
