How to collect urine for a general study?

On the eve of the analysis, it is not recommended to eat spicy, sour or salty foods. You should refrain from sexual intercourse and strong physical activity. Immediately before collecting urine, you need to wash the external genitalia with an intimate hygiene gel. And so that the discharge from the genital tract does not fall into the collection jar, and there is no false-bad result, a cotton ball should be inserted into the vagina.

For a more accurate study, it is recommended to collect an average portion of urine immediately after a night's sleep. To do this, you first need to urinate a little into the toilet, then into the analysis container, and then back into the toilet. If necessary, it is allowed to pass the analysis at another time.

The material should be brought to the laboratory within 2 hours. If this is not possible, then the container can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one and a half hours at a temperature of +1 to +4 degrees.
