What Is a Bladder Infection?
9. Diagnosis
Your doctor will likely need to ask you about your symptoms and your medical history. They may also need to ask you other questions such as whether or not you are using certain types of contraception. If a bladder infection is suspected then your doctor will likely want to request some tests.
Tests for a bladder infection typically include urine tests. This will allow experts to look for bacteria and other signs of an infection. Imaging technology like MRIs and CT scans can also be used to help get a look at what is happening inside the urinary system. In some cases, a cystoscope may be used to look inside.
