Urinalysis

— A Basic Test to Avoid Missing Conditions with Similar Symptoms

What does this test check?

• Bacteria and white blood cells:
  To see if there is an infection such as cystitis (bladder infection) or prostatitis

• Red blood cells:
  To check for blood in the urine

• Urine characteristics:
  To look for signs that may suggest inflammation or urinary stones

Why is this test important?

Many conditions can cause symptoms that closely resemble benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
A urinalysis helps rule out these conditions early and accurately.

👉 The test only requires a urine sample and is completely painless.

It is an essential first step in identifying the true cause of your urinary symptoms
