The vaginal influx and its significance in the diagnosis of infections of the urinary tract.
The vaginal influx during miction is a frequent phenomenon. In our clinical study it showed a rate of 54 per cent. The significance of pathomorphological substrates is diminishing with the advancing vesical descensus. The posture during miction has but little influence on the vaginal deviation of the urinary stream. The mid-stream urine is relevantly contaminated in every other girl and, therefore, it may be used only for screening. Indication for an antibacterial therapy is based on catheter or puncture urine.
