A member asked:

Is it possible that an isolated infection causing chronic epididymitis, like chlamydia and gonorrhoea, will not show up in a urine test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urethritis: A concomminant urethritis can be suggested in urine, but the caveat is that the specimen should be the first voided sampling (to contain the "washout" from the urethra (as opposed to the "midstream" clean catch specimen).
