Urine Sample

I have always just peed in a cup. At the urologist, they just do a dip test at the office but my PCP sends it to a lab for a full blown exam. Recently they took a sample using a catheter to get an uncontaminated sample. That was a bit uncomfortable.

My GP makes me go for blood work and urine testing every 3 months (because I'm diabetic). I hate having to pee in a cup. If I'm lucky, I get enough in for them to run the tests. I've had to go out and tell them I couldn't on more than one occasion.

I can't do it in my dr's office as the bathrooms (single toilets) are very narrow and I can't get into a position to get it. So, if I know I will need to give a sample (ie. when I have a UTI), I collect it at home in a specimen cup (I have a couple for that reason) and take it with me.

Why go through all that?

Just get a blood test for A1C. That and a finger stick will show your three month history and your up to the minute glucose level.

Why go through all that?.

The current recommendation is testing urine for micro albumin as an indicator of early kidney damage. This can be done in the office with a dip stick test, but sending it to the lab is a more complete test.

Personally, I don't think it really gives all that much information.

Doc

Weird thing is I almost always have albumin in my urine (I get my test results online) - most recent one was last week and it was 51 (supposed to be 0), but she never says anything to me about it.

Susie: She always does the A1c and never tests urine for sugar.

Oh man....I absolutely hate having to pee in a cup!! I am probably due for that again. They watch me like a hawk. My doctor says I have "sketchy kidneys". Her words, not mine. It has to do with me also being diabetic.

My sub was suppose to give a urine sample before he was discharged. Over an hour and half later there was no urine to give (on limited fluids in the PM there was just nothing to pee out). The kidney doctor finally said he could go, but would have to give a sample before his visit in under a week.

The last time I had to give a urine sample I had to use the public restroom around the corner. They handed me a teeny tiny bottle to pee in.

I wrapped my hand around the bottle to keep the etiquette dry. It's not easy for a woman to aim.

At last I had my sample. I put it carefully on the basin and washed my hands thoroughly.

Round the corner again and handed over my plastic bag with sample. There was some drops of water on the bag.

The horror in the woman's eyes as she thought it was my urine. I could not decide if I was amused , embarrassed or humiliated. Now I can laugh about it!

Well last one had to take a urine test for work, so I drink what I thought was a lot of fluids and did that the morning I was suppose to go, before I left I really had to go bad so went to the bathroom and didn't try to expel it all, got in my truck and drove over and felt fine and got to building and gave me name and such and waited, when it was my time I had nothing so felt horrible and told the nurse and she said....just go drink some water and try again and so I tried 3 plastic cups and went back and still nothing and now was feeling kinda of embrassed, so came back out of the restroom and nurse was like still nothing and shook my head and went for 3 more plastic cups of water and tried again, finally now I pee like no tomorrow and feel to the line and seem to go for what was minutes but not really and came out and had the glass and nurse smiled and said "finally it came out" and laughed.

The notion of a supervised drug urine test (never done in RL) has spawned a reccuring sexual fantasy in which there's a protracted & thorough preliminary genital exam that leavrs me hard & aroused & uriable to urinate. After a fairly long interval, in lieu of the urine sample, a semen sample is slowly extracted.

I have many variations of this fantasy. I suppose in RL people who can't urinste are just catheterized.

.

Curious, are there any female nurse/technicians who actually like watching men urinate in supervised testing. (It might mske fpr quite the power trip, but I strongly suspect it's a turn off for most)

Well recently I had to give a urine sample because I had UTI-like symptoms. I was at the doctor’s office and was given a cup and a wipe.

I went into the bathroom, took my pants off and spread my legs wide apart. I have rather chubby thighs, so when I have to give a urine sample I have to take my pants off completely to be able to spread my legs enough to be able to really get in there. I spread my labia, wiped everything with the sterile wipe (my clitoris, urethral opening, labia, vaginal opening) and then kept holding my labia open until I started peeing since this was a mid stream sample. It took probably 20+ minutes for me to start peeing, and I had to turn on the water to “inspire” myself to start. When I finally did, I peed a little into the toilet, put the cup under me and peed a little into it, and then closed it. There was barely any urine in the sample cup but I got out what I could and thought it was better than nothing. That was my most recent story.

I myself have given one urine sample at a pre-employment drug test and that was unsupervised. I was talking to someone the other day on another app that I have on my phone and they said they wanted to learn about how to use catheters. Their reasoning for wanting to use catheters was so they could switch out their own urine with somebody else's and then go take a drug test because quote-unquote they smoke weed. Why the hell would you want to do that just to get by oh and the person was on Parole

I am currently in pain management and have been so for for about 3 1/2 years. Because I am on heavy morphine due to an accident, I have to periodically take urine tests. I have never been watched while giving the sample although I must empty my pockets and am not allowed to flush the toilet. My last urine sample was in the hospital when a kidney stone caused me to become septic. I had to be catheterized for this. I have posted about these procedures and others I have had since my accident although this is the first time I have posted on this thread.

At work we have routine and random drug tests, we have to select a testing kit from a selection and unwrap it , then after handing over all pocket items, fill the pot for two samples, in a bathroom with the taps and lavatory flush tape sealed, whilst the medic waits outside, after watching the sample divided, we then sign the sealed containers, sometimes the doc will dip test remaining sample for sugar, that depends if its part of a regular work medical too

I have had several urine tests. Most were as part of my annual physical. I would go into the bathroom with the pre-labelled cup, fill it, cap it and return it to the nurse, or lab tech. I did have one prior to surgery where the procedure was the same. On one occasion I had a supervised test so I could work in the hospital. I was a bit strange with someone watching me fill the vials. On the other hand, I made sure they were properly sealed and signed before I left the area.

Last time at the urologist I was asked to pee into a large funnel with a beaker and scale underneath. It measures the rate of urine flow. The urine is also used for routine urinalysis.

@bob1952 do you know what it’s called? Very interesting lol

The peeing into a funnel with a scale below is called a Uroflow test. The instrument logs the flow rate and total void volume. It's a quick, non invasive test used to screen males for prostate and other issues. The graph shows the flow rate vs time and if you start and stop.

If you are "Bladder Shy" the results may not be valid.

The more comprehensive test is called Urodynamics. In this exam small cath (Fr 😎 is inserted into your urethra and a similar cath into your rectum. EMG electroges are applied between your anus and urethra. You are fully exposed in the "frog" position.

The catheters measure internal pressures and one is used to slowly fill your bladder with saline. The pressure vs volume is logged and you are asked about feeling need to pee etc. You are filled until you leak pee. When you are filled, you pee into a Uroflow meter. They may x-ray you as the test proceeds.

The test takes about an hour and is embarrassing beyond belief.

Simple urine samples are usually taken "mid flow". The person is supposed to start peeing on the toilet and part fill the sample cup from the continuing flow. Sometimes, I think people are cathed to get a sterile pee sample.

Bladder filling for play is a REALLY, REALLY bad idea. Complete sterility is an absolute must.

UTIs can get you into big problems.

Addendum:

The Urodynamics caths are typically Fr 8

and

Uroflow tests are done on both sexes.

Had to do one for my immigration exam , had to leave the bathroom door open too

@steve89

I would very much doubt you had to do a Uroflow or Urodynamics test for an immigration exam. Much more likely you were being drug screened.

I've had the usual, pee into a jar, sort. What always surprises me, though it shouldn't, is how warm urine is. I associate it with dank bathroom floors and urinals surrounded by an amazing amount of urine that somehow misses the urinal. How does that happen?

But it's the warmth, something to snuggle with almost, that always surprises me.

Not long ago, I woke up late and had to rush off to a physical exam when I was being screened for a study. I didn't stop to use the bathroom. When I gave the urine sample, as it had been many hours since I last relieved myself I had a pretty full bladder. I filled the plastic cup in no time, then had to pinch my penis off because there was no way I was going to just stop the flow by contracting muscles. What I then released into the toilet probably would've filled at least a half dozen of those cups!

Zurine screens were part of my pain manament care on a random basis.i would undue my diaper insert Cath and poof hot & ready (don't tell that pizza chain) but last year it changed ,I used say to my doctor sure I have a sample but my diaper doesn't fit in the cup,which.part do you want?

And now some joker has come out with an oral swab ,so killed my urinalysis joke routine. The hospital requires it.,my doctor thinks it's a waste of time and money,because in 11 years I have never failed one ,even the unplanned ones hospitals run if your unconsios are pretty useless ,I have been in contact with the hospital with other medical issues and they can't find the drugs I do take ? Testing is getting more sensitive but don't tell that to my urine ,because if they can't find stuff I take daily ,I suspect there ability to find anything is lacking .

I just did blood work related to a physical. The phebolist gave me a cup and pointed to the bathroom. I take jardiance so they will get sugar in the sample because it makes you secrete sugar. Anyway I forgot and peed before I went so once I got there after fasting I was hard pressed to get the little fellar to squeeze out enough sample. I did get it done and sure enough the results had sugar. Go figure

Oh yes every time I've ever been to the mental hospital.

Most times I go to the hospital. Even if it's for diabetes. Other people I know that have been to hospital here in town have said they've been given urine tests when they were there for other medical. it's becoming very common.

The most humiliating urine test though I had were in the army. They would come like us up. We all would go down to the day room and our underwear. five lines of 25 guys in our underwear. you walk up and drop your underwear to your knees. you piss in the cup, put the lid on it and write your name on it and pull your underwear up and on your way
