Urinary discomfort can be more than an irritation—it may be a sign of a deeper issue, such as a UTI or kidney infection. In the UK, prompt detection is best for better health outcomes.
Common reasons include:
An at-home urine chemistry & microscopy test can quickly detect infection, blood, or kidney issues. It’s a fast, confidential way to better understand your symptoms and get advice on next steps.
If you’re unsure, book an appointment or order a home test kit from Mayfield Clinic.
Our at-home kit offers quick analysis with guidance from UK-based specialists. Order here or book a GP consultation.
It is easy to collect a mid-stream urine sample at home using our universal bottle kit. You’ll receive full instructions and can post back your sample using the return packaging provided.
Both men and women can develop UTIs, especially after dehydration, sex, or in the presence of diabetes. Women are more commonly affected due to anatomy.
Very mild cases sometimes resolve with fluids and home care. However, persistent symptoms, pain, or fever mean you should seek medical advice or take a urine test to check.
