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.

Is it safe in women to have 10-12 pus cells in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My father was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection and treated with cefox and augmentin. He recovered for one week but at that time pus cells and RBC were present in the urine report and TLC was 13900. Then after eight days fever repeated and TLC was 13000 but urine was clear. He was treated with ampicillin 500 four times. Now after eight days fever has repeated. What will be the cause? Urine culture is negative. There is some increase in the prostate. A stone is seen in the gallbladder. Every Monday fever repeats.

Dear sir or madam I have symptoms of UTI. Please see the attached blood and urine report. Do I need to visit a doctor or just continue with UTI medicines, namely Tracfree sachets, Cital syrup, Mactifur 100 and Pantop D for 5 days? What does the report say? Thank you.
