Hi, I am 23 weeks pregnant, and my urine report shows pus cells 4 to 5/hpf and epithelial cells 8 to 10/hpf. Is this normal? Please suggest what I should do.

Mild pyuria and increased epithelial cells could be due to contamination or early infection. Repeat test with midstream clean catch sample. If symptoms (burning, fever, frequency) present, start antibiotics safe in pregnancy. If asymptomatic, monitor with repeat tests.
