Patient's question:
I previously had gynecological inflammation and have not fully recovered yet. Now I found that I have protein in my urine and want to understand if gynecological inflammation can cause protein in the urine?Doctor's answer:
Gynecological diseases themselves will never cause protein in the urine. However, if there is a vaginal infection leading to increased vaginal discharge, during a urine test, the vaginal discharge may contaminate the urine sample, which could result in the appearance of protein in the test results. This is not caused by the disease itself. You can do a follow-up test, drink more water, and urinate promptly. Before the next routine urine test, pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia and ensure midstream urine collection.
