Cytology, Urine

Cytology, Urine is a non-invasive test that helps detect abnormal cells in your urine which may indicate a precancerous condition or other urinary tract conditions such as infection or inflammation. This test may also help screen urinary tract cancer, such as bladder cancer, ureter cancer, urethral cancer, etc. You may need this test when you experience symptoms such as blood in your urine, pain or a burning sensation during urination, or difficulty in urinating suggestive of urinary tract problems. Your doctor may advise you to get this test done on three consecutive days to optimize disease detection. Measures such as drinking plenty of fluids, practicing good personal hygiene habits, eating a balanced diet containing probiotics, and avoiding holding your urine for long hours may help to prevent urinary tract infections.
