How Can Cystitis Be Treated?
I presented with cystitis and the doctor did a dip stick urninalysis. The results were BLO 2+ and also LEU Trace. The doctor did not give me an antibiotic as she said there was no indication of infection and that I should see a urologist. I clearly had the symptomos of cystitis as I have had it before. What does the BLO and LEU measurement mean?

Hello,
Dipstick urine analysis gives immediate and fairly accurate results.
From your results chances of cystitis are less.
BLO stand for Blood and LEU is for leucocytes.
Your doctor can request urine culture and sensitivity and Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis which will help diagnose cystitis.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
