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.

My grandma had her routine blood checkup in which her urine report shows pus cells 15 to 20 per hpf. She does not have any complaints except occasional urinary incontinence for which she is taking Ayurvedic medicine. What does the presence of pus cells indicate?

I recently got a urine test done for my grandmother. The report shows full/high pus cells and 4 to 6 epithelial cells per HPF. Could you please explain what this indicates and if any further action or treatment is needed?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to know if my niece is virgin or not. Her urine reports have consistently shown full of pus cells for the past three years.
