Brief Answer:
Please get a urine routine microscopy and urine culture test done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The symptoms for UTI are not so strong.
Also, based on the AZO test strip, you cannot confirm the diagnosis.
You would need to send your urine sample to a lab, for urine routine microscopy testing and urine culture test.
That will confirm the diagnosis, as well as tell you what particular antibiotic will work for it.
SO please get that done.
Recurrent UTI s are caused by a few factors.
Recurrent vaginal infections can lead to reccurent UTIs.
So please get a vaginal swab done to confirm vaginal infections.
Also, there are some other contributory factors - diabetes, anomalous urinary tract, difficulty in voiding which leads to residual urine in bladder, immuno - compromise etc.
Until you call your Doctor on MOnday, please submit the urine routine microscopy and urine culture test to the lab.
You will have that in hand when you consult your doctor then.
All the best.
PLease free free to discuss further.

how do u get a culture?
Brief Answer:
By sending the urine sample to the lab.
Detailed Answer:
You send the mid stream urine sample to the lab.
The lab uses part of it for a routine microscopy test and part of it for a urine culture test, that identifies what bacteria is causing the infection and what antibiotic will work against the infection .

yes but I need a prescription
Brief Answer:
As below
Detailed Answer:
For a test too ?
IF the symptoms are very severe, you can start with cranberry juice and 5 litres of water daily.
It is pointless to take antibiotics without a culture, the situation may worsen.
