Can doctors see STDS in urine samples?!


Question: Can doctors see STDS in urine samples!?
If i go to the doctor to get checked for a bladder infection (urine sample), will they be able to see if i have any stds from that!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
What they do if they are looking for an infection is they will order a culture and sensitivity!. The culture will tell them what particular bug is causing the infection and the sensitivity will tell them which antibiotic will work the best!.

The catch is this only works with bacteria!. Not all STDS are bacteria so the test will not pick up on them!. Such as HIV and herpes!. If you think you might have a STDS you need to tell the doctor so he can order additional tests to look for those!.

For some STDs, all the doctor or nurse will need is for you to urinate (pee) in a cup!. They can tell a lot by looking for certain organisms in your urine!. Some STDs may be diagnosed by swabbing (or taking a cotton swab or wooden spatula) and taking a sample of vaginal secretions and looking at it under a microscope!. Other STDs, like herpes, are diagnosed by culturing the fluid inside the little sores or blisters!. And sometimes a blood sample will be taken for tests!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, most STD's are checked the same way, What you can do is to let the doctor know to check for STDs in addition to the Bladder Infection!. I know that if you are having symptoms and they do not see a bladder infection they do check for STDs but im not sure that if they see a bladder infection if they will still look for STDsWww@Answer-Health@Com

If they just test you for a bladder infection, they won't be able to tell if you have any STDs!. They would need to test you for STDs in order to find them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think so!. You can detect it through certain blood test mostly!. And one symptom is when you have a discharge which is unusual!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Typically chlamydia and gonorrhea can be detected through urine testing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
