Passing urine acts to flush germs out. Sometimes a sexual partner carries the infecting bacteria. In this case, both partners should be treated to clear up the infection. Urine cultures take a few days to complete and treatment usually is started on the same day you see your healthcare provider. When the urine culture and sensitivity results are available, the medication may be changed depending on the specific bacteria and what it is sensitive to.
Most infections respond well to antibiotic treatment.
However, recurrence is possible. If you have symptoms of a bladder infection, consult your healthcare provider. All Rights Reserved.
