When I go to the doctors and get a strep test...
Are they going to make me take a urine sample?

No, unless they're checking for something else. If you are simply having a strep test done, they will take a long swab and take a sample off of your tonsils. They will then somehow examine this to look for strep bacteria. It doesn't hurt, although you might feel a slight gagging sensation. Nothing to worry about. But, as an overall health analysis, they may take a urine sample. Good luck!

A strep test is normally a culture taken from your throat. They take a long Q-tip and swab the back of your throat and do a culture on a petri-dish.

Well, a strep test by itself only requires a throat swab... but a urinalysis is usually done to see your overall health as well.

Strep Throat?
They scrape the back of your throat. It doesn't hurt at all.

No. They will generally just get a throat swab unless you complain of urinary symptoms.
