Hello Friend,<\/p>\n

Have you also had cystitis symptoms, but you were confused about the test to run: urine culture or urethral swab?<\/em> \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n

This question crossed my mind several times, and I felt like a Rave Party<\/em> of bacteria was taking place in my bladder. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n

I’ll explain the difference between a urine culture and a urethral swab<\/strong> to take the guesswork out of it right away. \ud83d\ude18<\/p>\n

To find out if you have cystitis<\/a><\/strong>, I suggest you perform a urine culture<\/strong>.
\nUrine culture is the urine test that allows you to detect the presence or absence of an infection in your bladder<\/strong> (your urine reservoir<\/a>), allowing you to know the type of bacteria that is attacking it. \ud83d\ude45\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Urethral swab<\/strong>: the small tube that carries urine from the bladder and detects an infection in the urethra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One test does not exclude the other, but I suggest you always go to your doctor<\/strong> and discuss with him the symptoms and causes of your discomfort.<\/p>\n

To learn more and get support, you can write to me directly here<\/a>. \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n

I invite you to read also our article“a precise diagnosis for a tailor-made path!<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Be strong!<\/em> \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Big hug!<\/p>\n
