Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Asymptomatic bacteriuria is the presence of bacteria in the urine detected in laboratory tests, but without the person experiencing urinary discomfort such as burning, urgency, or pain. It is a finding, not necessarily an active infection.
Context: it is usually found incidentally when analyzing urine for other reasons and is more common in women, older people, and during pregnancy.
When to see a doctor? in the face of a result of this type, it is advisable to discuss it in consultation, since its interpretation depends on the health status of each person and particular circumstances.
Which specialist assesses it? the urologist, the gynecologist, and the general or family practitioner can interpret the finding and advise on its meaning. Clarifying doubts with a professional avoids hasty conclusions.
