Urethral irrigation test

The urethral flushing test is an auxiliary test method used to check whether the urethral function is normal. During urinary tract infection, purulent secretions and white blood cells from the infected area will be discharged with the urine, resulting in cloudy urine appearance, containing filaments, and microscopic examination of pus cells and white blood cells. If the front urethra is rinsed and then a small amount of urine is discharged, and the above characteristics are present, it can be initially determined as a posterior urinary tract infection. Through this examination, the corresponding symptoms can be judged.
