Hi Doctor, My sister urine report shows pus cells at 4 to 5 and epithelial cells at 7 to 8. I would like to know what this indicates and what steps should be taken next.

Mild increase in pus and epithelial cells may suggest early UTI or contamination. Repeat test with midstream clean catch sample. Maintain Hygiene and avoid Public toilets

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test or Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test

I am experiencing a burning sensation after urinating, and my urine is dark yellow. I did a urine test, but the results were normal. What could be causing this?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am suffering from urinating problems for the past 4 to 5 months. I need to pass urine 8 to 10 times at night. I pass more urine while sitting than standing. I went to the hospital and my lab reports and USG are normal. The doctor advised me to take Tab. Cystone but it has not cured my problem. Please advise me as I am suffering from a big problem?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My urine report shows bacteria is present and I am pregnant now. Will it affect my child? The report also shows pus cells and epithelial cells. Epithelial cells are 12 to 14.
