What Happens During UTI Testing in Dearborn MI?

UTI testing in Dearborn MI is a straightforward process that involves:

  1. A review of your symptoms, their duration, your medical history, and any previous infections.
  2. Urine sample using a clean-catch collection method.
  3. A urinalysis to check for signs of infection, such as white blood cells or nitrites.
  4. Urine culture to identify bacteria and help guide treatment.
  5. Treatment recommendations by your provider, such as antibiotics if needed.
