Can urine culture test detect STDs? - Dr. Teena S Thomas

STD’s include, here maybe we are talking about gonorrhea and chlamydia infections. Usually you need a vaginal swab to diagnose any gonorrhea and chlamydia infections or any STDs locally, but there is a possibility that the urine culture may grow up and there is a possibility that the vaginal infection with a lot of chlamydial infection or gonorrheal infection, the bacteria would have gone into urine. So during the urine culture, the male may pick up chlamydia and may be treated accordingly. If the urine culture will pick up a chlamydial or gonorrheal infection, or treated it for the same. But the urine culture of not picking up infection be it chlamydial or gonorrheal, then it is only by the swab of the vaginal region and urine. If it is detecting, it is fine. Buy if it is not detecting, is not a diagnosis.
