I had to drop a urine sample into my gp today as I have been suffering some symptoms the last few days.
I called this evening for results as it’s just a dip stick test and was told if infection found she would do me a prescription but the reception told me they have had to send it away to a lab! I know I shouldn’t let my imagination run wild but it’s worried me!
Does anyone know roughly how long results take to come back?
Thank you xx
Don't worry its protocol to send to the lab to make sure the antibiotics given to you are the right ones to kill off the bacteria.
I do lots urinalysis at work and any I dip that show signs of infection are sent to lab.
I promise you absolutely nothing to worry about.
I had a urine infection in April and had to take antibiotics. Drink plenty of water to help flush the infection out whilst taking the meds.

Thanks Molly!
The receptionist said not enough showed on the dipstick test to give me a prescription so they have sent to the lab.
You really have put my mind at rest, thanks again xx
No problem im glad I could help you xx
