Patient's question:
I have white, yellowish external genitalia with small bumps. Do I need a urine test? I'd like to know what simple urine tests can detect.Doctor's answer:
Different situations can reflect different problems. For example: urinary tract infections, diabetes screening, sexually transmitted disease screening, glomerulonephritis (acute nephritis, rapidly progressive nephritis, membranoproliferative nephritis, mesangial proliferative nephritis, focal glomerular sclerosis, etc.), renal cysts, stones (kidney, ureter, bladder, urethral stones), benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections (tuberculosis, pyelonephritis, cystitis/urethritis), and tumors (kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate tumors) are the most common.
