Should I get retested for an STI?
You don’t need to retest because that test was negative, and most of the tests that are done now are very sensitive, so if the bacteria is present, it will show up on the test.

Typically, a stone that is 2 mm or less has a 85% chance of passage alone, 3 mm a 75% chance, a 4 mm has a 60% chance to pass a 5 mm to 6 mL is 40 to 50% a 78 mm is 20% and anything above that typically does not pass. We also do surgery on 2 mm stones that just won’t progress and continue to cause pain. In my practice, I typically give people at least two weeks to pass unless they’re doubled over in pain.

Sometimes blood pressure medicine is a diuretic, and if you were taking a diuretic, it will make you urinate more frequently. If you are on such a diuretic for your blood pressure, sometimes they can change it to a different drug so that it doesn’t cause that side effect.
