How Accurate Is a UTI Diagnosis? Doctors Explain

Many people are told they have a urinary tract infection based on symptoms or a quick urine test — but how accurate is that diagnosis really? In this video, we break down how UTIs are commonly diagnosed, including urine dipsticks, microscopy, and culture tests. We explain what these tests can detect, what they often miss, and why symptoms like burning urination or frequent urination don’t always mean infection. You’ll also learn why some people are treated for UTIs they don’t actually have, how contamination affects results, and when a “negative” test doesn’t always mean everything is normal. By the end, you’ll understand the limits of UTI testing, common diagnostic mistakes, and why some urinary symptoms need a different explanation altogether. Educational content only.
