I am having UTI for the last 25 days and now my urine report shows presence of epithelial cells 1 to 2 per hpf and pus cells 5 to 6 per hpf. I have already taken levofloxacin for 20 days as per doctors advice. Kindly suggest what to do now? I was also recently detected with diabetes. My age is 69 years male.

Persistent UTI with diabetes needs further testing. A urine culture can help find the right medicine. Keep sugar levels in check to help recovery.

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test or Take a Glucose Fasting and PP Test Test

My routine urine report shows 10 to 15 pus cells per hpf and a trace amount of protein. Epithelial cells are 2 to 3 per hpf. Could you please help me understand what this means and if any treatment is needed?

I have done a routine urine test. My nitrite level shows positive. What does it mean? Please suggest.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have attached my urine report, and the doctor mentioned there is an infection. I have been advised to take IV fluids and injections in the morning and evening, with only a general consultation mentioned. I am a 33 year old and feeling a bit worried. Could you please review the report
