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 is pus cells 10 to 12 per hpf, RBC 1 to 2 per hpf and epithelial cells 4 to 5 per hpf. I am 9 weeks pregnant. Is there any serious problem? What should I do?

Hi, the urine report says pus cells 20 to 25, epithelial cells 7 to 8, and few bacteria. It has been a month since she was COVID positive.

I am diabetic for 12 years. Three months ago, 6 mm and 4 mm kidney stones were detected. Now I am having right side pelvic pain and heaviness, along with burning sensation and yellow urine. The doctor prescribed Nutribact 100 for 3 weeks, Stone1 syrup, and Meftal tablets. Even after this, I have not been cured and was advised to undergo a cystoscopy. My urine test report shows ++ sugar, 15 to 20 pus cells, and epithelial cells. The culture report came as contaminants. Is this the proper treatment I am receiving?
