Yes, they can detect UTI in urine.

I developed an infection after having unprotected sex with my girlfriend. I started experiencing a burning sensation while urinating and noticed yellow discharge from my penis. I got my discharge tested at a pathology lab, and the report states No gonococci seen, few gram negative cocco bacilli seen, and a large number of pus cells seen. Could you please explain what this means.

How did I get bacteria in my urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 8 and a half months pregnant. Today I visited my doctor. I have a little swelling on my feet, a light burning sensation while urinating, and a frequent urge to urinate. She suggested me some tests. Please see my report and help me.
