Do UTI Test Strips Really Work?? #shorts

It's tempting to just grab a box of test strips at your local pharmacy when you feel a UTI coming on, but do they actually work? Not really. These strips are not reliable. They can give a lot of false results depending on your diet, contamination or even how long they've been on the shelf! And even if they did come back negative, if you have symptoms, you'll want to treat them anyways, and if positive, you still need to go see your doctor to get antibiotics. Plus, there are different types of bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections and it's umportant to know which one is causing yours! Strips can't do that. #urinarytractinfection #uti #urine #pee #womenshealth #health #medicine #doctor #urology #urologist #womensempowerment #losangeles #gyn #obgyn #gynecology
