Hi,
So I've just done a urine test at home and it was (highly!) positive for leukocytes. But no nitrite, blood or protein. Can it still be a UTI even without nitrites? Or does the absence of nitrites point towards something more serious?!
I'm 29 and I've only ever had one UTI before, just after the birth of my second child 5 years ago. I also currently have a vaginal yeast infection, could that have caused the leukocytes in the urine? And if it actually is a UTI, which is unusual for me, could it be because I just started a new relationship - I've heard before that sex with a new partner can cause UTI and yeast infections...
Has anyone ever had leukocytes in urine without nitrites? And what did it mean? I'm trying not to Google... But it just seems strange.
