Urine Culture and Analysis

Service Description

A urine culture and analysis at Hazba Medical Center checks your urine for infection, blood, protein, sugar, and other abnormalities answering the question behind some of the most common and most uncomfortable symptoms there are. When to get this test: Burning or pain when urinating Needing to go constantly, or urgently, but passing little Cloudy, dark, foul-smelling urine, or blood in the urine Lower abdominal or back pain with urinary symptoms Recurrent UTIs — to identify exactly which bacteria keep returning and which antibiotic actually kills it Monitoring during pregnancy, diabetes, or kidney conditions A doctor's requisition from any clinic — we accept outside referrals What the test involves — two parts, one visit: Urinalysis: an immediate examination of your urine for signs of infection, blood, protein, glucose, and other markers. Results the same day, so treatment can often start right away. Urine culture — your sample is cultured to grow and identify the specific bacteria causing an infection, plus sensitivity testing to show which antibiotics it responds to: results typically within 5 days. This is what turns guesswork into targeted treatment — especially for stubborn or repeat infections. Why this matters: many UTIs are treated blind with a standard antibiotic and when that antibiotic is the wrong one, the infection "comes back" (it never left). Culture and sensitivity testing tells your doctor precisely what works, which is the difference between treating an infection and treating it for good. Why patients choose Hazba Medical Center: Doctor on-site: if your results show infection, a physician can see you and start treatment the same visit, not after a referral elsewhere Private and simple — a clean-catch sample collected at the clinic; we'll explain exactly how Insurance accepted — Canopy Insurance and Guardian Group The fee is US$75 for the culture and analysis.
