Welcome to Health care magic.
1.The procedure to diagnose urinary tract infection - clinically increased maculation frequency, burning sensation, incomplete voiding, lower abdominal discomfort.
2.Urine examination with culture will help to evaluate the pathology.
3.An ultrasound examination findings in UTI are - bladder wall irregularities, thickened with multiple echogenic floaters with in the bladder lumen.
4.Pre void and post void scan to evaluate the residual urine - usually there will be residual urine in the urinary tract infection.
5.The treatment will be with suggestion of excessive wear - to clean / wash out the infection, a course of antibiotics will be enough to treat the cause. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
