Description

With the SELFCheck Urine Infection Test you can test for cystitis and urine and bladder infections easily in the privacy of your own home. With two tests per kit, this home urine infection test is a sterile rapid way to detect indirect signs of infection not normally present in urine
Why test urine for infection?
Urine infections can range from Cystitis (mild but distressing infection) to severe kidney infections. Urine infections are 5 times more common in women than men.
Who is this home use urine infection test for?
This test is suitable and recommended for both men and women. However, women tend to be more susceptible to urine infections because they have a shorter urethra compared to men – this can mean that bacteria can enter the bladder more easily.
How often should you test your urine for infections?
Every time you feel symptoms of a potential urine infection, you may experience the following:
frequent need to urinate
pain while passing urine
cloudy urine with offensive colour
pain in the loins, fever or chills
What should you do if the result is positive?
In all cases, you should consult your doctor. Drink plenty of water (at least 4 pints/2 litres), which alleviates the symptoms and helps to flush the urinary system. Do not make medical decisions without consulting your doctor.
