Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a common health issue that affects millions of people every year. To diagnose a UTI, healthcare providers usually request a urine sample for testing. However, many individuals wonder whether they need to fast before taking a UTI test. The answer to this is simple: no, fasting is generally not required for a UTI test.

UTI tests primarily rely on urine samples, and the goal is to detect bacteria, white blood cells, or other indicators of infection in the urinary tract. Since the test evaluates the contents of your bladder and not your bloodstream, eating or drinking before the test does not typically affect the results.

No, fasting is not required before taking a UTI test. You can eat and drink normally, but remember to stay hydrated to provide a sample. If you have questions or concerns about your UTI test, My Care Labs can help. Our team is committed to providing accurate and timely UTI testing services.
