How Are Urinary Tract Infections Diagnosed?
How can I know for sure that it is a UTI? If tested at a doctor s office, will they tell me the specific bacteria that caused the infection or if it is fungal bacteria? Also, what is the best anit-biotic for treatment of the UTI. Since I read that it depends on the type of infection, how long will it take to diagnose the specific type of infection causing the UTI. Is it necessary to do a culture on the urine sample? If so, how long does that take?
