Question

Bacteria in urine

Asked for Female, 41 Years

My urine routine shows pus cells - 11 Bacteria - present I don't have much symptoms but occasionally pain in left lower abdomen and pelvic area but I also get such pain sometimes due to gastritis. So I am not sure if it is urinary infection symptoms. I have given urine for culture and it will take 3 days to get the result. My urologist says to wait for 3 days to get result and then start antibiotics. Is it ok to delay antibiotics. Will 3 days cause it to get worse? Also is there any chance that I can clear bacteria without antibiotics?
