Hello Doctor, My husband got 8 to 10 per high power field epithelial cells in his urine test. He had appendicitis three years ago. He is now getting pain in the lower abdomen. Please tell me, is this a serious condition or is it okay?

8 to 10 epithelial cells in urine could mean a mild infection or unclean sample. Lower abdominal pain may suggest UTI or post surgery adhesions (since he had appendicitis). Do a Urine Culture and Ultrasound to rule out deeper causes.

My 9 month old baby girl has a urine report showing UTI with a colony count of 1 x 10 exponentiation 5 and E. coli growth. I want to know about this report.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to know if my 9 month old baby urine report is normal or not. Should I be concerned and consult a doctor? The report shows pus cells 15 to 20 per HPF, epithelial cells 1 to 2 per HPF, reaction 7.6, specific gravity 1015, leukocytes, and ketone negative.

I am currently having a UTI, and I have done a urine report and urine culture. I have been taking medicines for the last 15 to 20 days, but still have frequent urination and lower abdomen or stomach pain. Earlier, there were antibiotics, but now another dose is prescribed without antibiotics. Will doing panchakarma help to cure UTI?
