Bacteria in urine sediment are high

Many women need to do routine urine tests after they have gynecological diseases. Because the female urethra and vaginal opening are very close, gynecological diseases are likely to cause urinary system diseases. Generally, a urine sediment bacteria will be found during the urine test. This bacteria is mainly used to see inflammation in the urethra. So what should I do if the urine sediment bacteria is high?

Why is the bacterial count in women's urine high?

If a woman's urine routine bacteria level is high, she should consider the possibility of urinary tract infection, and also check for gynecological inflammation. Patients are advised to actively receive anti-infection treatment and have their urine checked regularly. Pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum and change your underwear frequently.

Things to note before urine test

1. Drinking water and eating do not affect the results of routine urine tests, so pregnant women can eat and drink water before the examination.

2. It is best to collect midstream urine. According to the order of urination, urine can be divided into the front section, middle section and back section. Because the first and second stream urine are easily contaminated, midstream urine is generally collected when doing urine routine and urine bacteriological examinations.

3. Urine should be collected in clean and dry containers, such as the disposable urine cup and urine test tube provided by the hospital.

4. Time of urine collection: Routine laboratory tests can be done at any time when urine is excreted. In order to observe the results before and after, kidney disease patients are generally required to use the first urine sample in the morning for testing.

5. The retained urine should be sent to the laboratory for examination as soon as possible, because if it is left for too long, problems such as glucose being decomposed by bacteria, tubular destruction, and cell lysis may occur, affecting the accuracy of the test results. Therefore, when doing a routine urine test, paying attention to the correct standards for collecting urine samples is the key to ensuring the accuracy of the urine test results.

6. Urine specimens must be clean. Women should clean their vulva to avoid mixing in leucorrhea. If there are a large number of polygonal epithelial cells in the urine sediment, they may have been mixed into the leucorrhea, and it is advisable to collect a clean urine sample for re-examination.

7. In patients with urinary tract infection, pyuria is often intermittent, so it is advisable to conduct repeated examinations before drawing a conclusion.

8. The use of antibiotics may affect the accuracy of the examination. Therefore, pregnant women should stop taking medication before doing a urine test and inform their doctor if they are taking any medication.

The above is some understanding and introduction about why the bacteria level in women’s routine urine is high. I hope you can gain something after reading it. If you find that your urine routine test shows a high level of bacteria, you should actively seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor and go to the hospital on time for a urine routine reexamination.
