The dip test shows up white blood cells, blood, nitrates and leukocytes amongst other things. If these are present it can mean infection but it can also indicate damage or inflammation of the bladder or urethra from other causes.

Have you been referred for urodynamics testing? This will give a good indication of how the bladder is working and what the problem might be.

Sorry am in a rush!

What could it be other than an investigation to find out if you need further treatment?
