See below: Call and let your doctor know, but sometimes depending on the lab your insurance requires your doctor to send your urine culture to, can take up to a week to send results to your doctor. Hope you feel better.

72 hours: A urine culture normally takes a minimum of 72 hours.If you can't wait that long due to your discomfort, call the doctor on call now.Have your local pharmacy telephone number ready to give the doctor when they call you back.Something can be called in to help your symptoms today, while you wait for the urine culture results.
