Is there a test stick you can pee on to indication uti?
Home UTI test strips are designed to detect specific substances in the urine that may indicate the presence of a urinary tract infection (UTI). These substances include:
Leukocytes (white blood cells): The presence of white blood cells in the urine can indicate inflammation or infection, including UTI.
Nitrites: Nitrites are produced when bacteria break down nitrates in the urine. The presence of nitrites can indicate a UTI caused by certain bacteria, such as E. coli.
Bacteria: Some test strips may also be able to detect the presence of bacteria in the urine.
However, it's important to note that home UTI test strips are not as accurate as laboratory urine tests and may not be able to detect all cases of UTI. If you have symptoms of a UTI, such as frequent urination, pain or burning during urination, or cloudy or foul-smelling urine, it's important to see a doctor for evaluation and treatment.
