If urine routine is normal and there are no symptoms burning, fever, frequency, urine culture is usually not needed. However, if symptoms persist, a culture can help identify hidden infection.

Hello doctor, I am experiencing extreme pain in my clitoris while urinating. A few weeks ago, my urine test showed a positive result for a urinary tract infection, but I did not take any medication. Now, I am having pain in my clitoris, and my urine is very dark in color, sometimes with blood. I would like to know what might be causing these symptoms and what I should do next.
