UTI

[bermut]

Hi, my wife is 50 years old, last year she undergone a major operation of removing myoma & ovary that includes urether implantation. This month, she always have UTI & fever and she is feeling some pain on her left side. What check-up or laboratory test she needs to undergo to determine her health problem?

Thanks a lot..

A urine culture at a doctors office will tell what kind of infection she has. They sometimes just do a quick test to start with from a urine sample and if that if positive they can do a culture but often the doctors just treat with antibiotics. They may want to take blood to check the BUN and Creatinine that shows if the kidneys are functioning properly as well. I would get her to the doctor as soon as you can. A lot of times implants can become infected so that is another issue.
