Hi, my wife and I went on a 12 days international vacation and were scheduled to go for our 12 week pregnancy scan immediately after returning. We had a long international flight and got the scan and urine test immediately. While the NT scan and other reports are fine, the urine report shows 6 to 8 pus cells with a urine pH of 8. Is this possibly due to temporary dehydration from travel or is it something more serious? My wife does not have any other symptoms and is fine. We are asking this since we can only meet our doctor in a wee time. Thanks.

Likely due to dehydration or minor UTI. No antibiotics unless symptoms develop. Please do a Urine Culture to confirm. Take this test now.

My urine test report shows pus cells 50 to 60, leucocyte esterase positive +++, epithelial cells 18 to 20, and pap smear shows inflammatory cervix smear (dense). What does this mean?

I recently had a urine test showing 6 to 10 pus cells. Today, I noticed an extra mass of skin near my anus, which is also painful. Could this be something serious, or is it related to a urinary tract infection? Please advise.

Are 6-8 pus cells in urine normal for a 9-year-old girl?
