If you have symptoms of UTI with a negative urine culture then this will need to be looked at in detail by your doctor. It can still be a possible urine infection that hasn’t been picked up on the urine test.

Your doctor may repeat the urine test or refer you for further examinations to find out the cause for your symptoms. Always seek medical advice from your doctor if you are unsure of ongoing symptoms.
