Can urine test detect vaginitis?

Urine test refers to routine urine test. Generally speaking, routine urine test cannot detect vaginitis. To detect vaginitis, a gynecological bimanual examination and vaginal discharge examination are required. Vaginal discharge examination is a routine leucorrhea examination.

Urinalysis refers to taking an appropriate amount of urine for laboratory testing, adding corresponding reagents, and analyzing it with a biochemical analyzer to analyze the red blood cells, white blood cells, proteins, ketone bodies, glucose and other indicators in the urine, and draw accurate conclusions. Its main function is to assist in the diagnosis of urinary tract infections, urinary stones or abnormal kidney function and other diseases. Common symptoms of vaginitis are vaginal itching, changes in leucorrhea color or odor, but the vagina and urethra are not the same organ and are not connected to each other. Vaginitis usually does not cause changes in the indicators of routine urine tests. Therefore, vaginitis cannot be detected based on the results of routine urine tests.

To detect vaginitis, you first need to do a gynecological bimanual examination. The doctor will directly observe the color of the vaginal wall and the characteristics of the leucorrhea with the naked eye, and then take appropriate leucorrhea for testing. According to the white blood cells, miscellaneous bacteria, Trichomonas, Candida and other indicators in the leucorrhea, it can be determined whether you have vaginitis and the specific type of vaginitis. You can also follow the doctor's advice to perform a biopsy and cervical exfoliated cytology to draw a more accurate conclusion, so as to diagnose the disease and formulate a treatment plan.

If you experience any discomfort, you should go to the corresponding department of the hospital, undergo relevant examinations as ordered by the doctor, and then receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor after a clear diagnosis.
