Middle urine or initial urine

2026-07-22 16:14:09
My doctor asked me to give a urine sample for bacterial testing after a prostate massage. Should I collect the initial urine (first part of the stream) or a midstream urine sample after the prostate massage? Which is the correct method for this test?
