I am feeling very weak and there is constant swelling in my body. My blood report shows epithelial cells present at 8 to 10. Is this normal?

Epithelial cells 8 to 10 per HPF in urine may suggest contamination, or mild irritation, not always serious. But your weakness and swelling need a full check up. Please get a urine culture and also rule out kidney or thyroid issues.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test or Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test

Please review my report and let me know if I am suffering from a urinary tract infection. Also, could you explain what culture yields mixed growth of organisms, more than 10,000 CFU per ml (more than 3 types of bacteria grown) means?

I have a 6mm kidney stone in my left kidney. Currently, I am experiencing constipation and a heavy feeling in my belly. My report mentions gas in the bowel detected by a 10 MHz scan. Could the constipation be related to the kidney stone. Please suggest how I can relieve the constipation and what steps I should take? Thank you, sir.
