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 routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?

I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend the first time and now she is my wife. She has ovarian cysts and yeast infection. After some time I suffered from fever, swollen glands, and swollen and painful testicles. Next I did an HIV report, which was negative. Next I did HIV 1 and 2 and p24 antigen tests which was 0.06 and the USG report of whole abdomen showed some infarction of bladder cystitis. Sir please tell me am I affected by HIV or other STD? What type of blood report should I do next? Please suggest me.
