These findings may indicate a mild urinary tract infection (UTI), common in pregnancy. A repeat urine culture is essential. Hydration and physician-guided antibiotics may be needed. Please take a urine culture test.

I am experiencing a strong and consistent urge to urinate frequently, even while I am already urinating. I have submitted a normal urine routine test report and also given a sample for urine culture. Please advise on what this might indicate and the next steps.
