“My urine report showed some strep. Could it be serious?”
I conducted a recent urine examination which indicated some strep bacteria. Does it mean an infection or is there anything I need to do?

Drinking enough water every day. Visit a doctor to get antibiotics. Sleep good hours each night.
No, it’s usually a contaminant. I would repeat it in 1 week and treat with antibiotics.

The results of the culture were strep. Also what your doctor is looking at is the results of the urinalysis. The combination of those two tests will establish where this is an infection that needs to be treated, or what we call contamination, which would not need to be treated.
Strep bacteria can be wiped out by antibiotics
