Hello!

Urinalysis is a test that evaluates a sample of your urine. It is used to detect a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infection, kidney disease and diabetes.
You may collect a urine sample at home or at your doctor's office.You can get a container for the urine sample by your doctor or buy it at a pharmacy.You should collect the first urine in the morning and send it to lab within 30 min.

You should consult your doctor and he will guide you through this.
Meanwhile you should drink plenty of fluids ,it will dilute your urine and ease the discomfort.

Hope I have answered your query.
